Think Spring!
Order Trees from Darke SWCD
GREENVILLE – Finally the winter freeze has thawed and nearly all traces
of the most recent snow are history! These early signs of spring
can only mean one thing, it’s time for the annual Darke SWCD Tree
Seedling Sale. Each year we accept orders for a variety of trees
and shrubs that are native to Ohio. This year is no exception, we
are offering 21 different species to choose from. Everything from
hardwoods, evergreens, fruit trees and other deciduous plants are
available. These packets are offered as a low cost source of
conservation plant materials which will provide food and cover for
wildlife.
These two to three-year-old seedlings are bare root stock. Upon
arrival, each tree is dipped in a preservative gel to keep the roots
moist. All seedlings are packaged in packets of five
trees. An assortment of tree packets are offered for sale to both
rural and urban landowners. The plant varieties are selected for their
popularity and hardiness in the Darke County area. This is an
economical way to work toward establishing or adding to a wildlife
area, creating a windbreak, or improving the landscape.
Payment must be received when placing your order. Prices range
from $5-$10 per packet. All orders and payment must be received
by March 27, 2015. This year we are also offering larger
varieties of Colorado Blue Spruce and Norway Spruce trees.
Visit our website, www.darkeswcd.com, for more information, to place an
order or print off an order form. Order forms are also available
at our office located at 1117 Southtowne Court, Greenville, Ohio.
If you have any questions or would like more information regarding this
year’s tree sale, don’t hesitate to give us a call at 937-548-1715,
extension 3.
Most packets will fit easily into one or two grocery bags. They are
available to anyone and may be planted anywhere. To keep the cost low,
we are unable to furnish replacements nor will we mail or deliver the
packets. We reserve the right to make substitutions if necessary.
