Spring blooms, shade on a sunny summer day, crisp fall colors – trees are the essence of the seasons and their growth is the benchmark of passing time.
The Hamilton County Soil and Water Conservation District recognizes the value of trees in the community and lives and is making quality native tree and shrub stock available via its annual native tree and shrub fundraiser.
Forty-eight species of native trees and shrubs are available for just $30 per three-gallon containerized specimen. Pre-orders are required before Wednesday, Sept. 20. Orders can be picked up Friday, Sept. 29 at the Hamilton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 2003 Pleasant St., Noblesville. Details on species and growing conditions, as well as online ordering, are available at hamiltonswcd.org.
This tree sale focuses on species native to Indiana. These trees are uniquely suited to local soil and weather, but most importantly, they are uniquely suited to support local wildlife – especially birds, insects, and other pollinators.
Three-gallon trees are a great choice as they are easy to maneuver and plant, economical, and will grow quickly. In addition to native trees, 15-gallon watering bags are also available in this year’s sale.
The tree sale is the district’s largest annual fundraiser. All proceeds go back into conservation and education in Hamilton County.
