Native Tree and Plant Sale
Every spring the Itasca SWCD conducts a native tree and plant sale to help
promote the planting of native species and give landowners a convenient way to
obtain their favorite plants. We offer a variety of trees, shrubs, wildflowers,
grasses and sedges. The sale is held at the Itasca County Fairgrounds on
the north side of Grand Rapids. To be sure you get the plants of your
choice please be sure to order ahead of time. SWCD staff attend the sale and are available to answer any natural resource
related questions regardless of whether you make a purchase or not.
We are now taking orders for the 2008 sale. Follow
the links below for information about the available plants and an order form.
All order forms must be received by April 2008.

is a slide show on the benefits of planting native plants on your
