Annual Native Plant Sale: Pre-Order Now Until January 22 for Pick-Up February 26 & 27

Posted on September 2, 2015 at 8:40 AM by Allan Warren

Red flowering currantThe District offers almost 30 native tree and shrub species for home landscapes and conservation purposes, including: naturescaping (low-water requirement landscapes), rain garden installations, wildlife enhancement, reforestation, wetland and stream enhancement, and erosion control, as well as landscaping around homes and farms. Native plants have evolved to grow in the soils, topography, and climate of western Washington. This gives them decided advantages, including greater resistance to pests and better ability to withstand wet winters and dry summers. It is for these reasons that conservation districts across the state promote the use of native plants. These bare root plants have well-developed roots and are easy to handle, transport and plant. We strive to provide you with large quantities of high quality and affordable bare root trees and shrubs, as well as tree protector tubes, and Plantskydd animal repellant. Order on-line at www.piercenativeplantsale.com or request an order form by contacting Rene’ at 253 845-9770 x 106.
