The Fulton Soil and Water Conservation District is hosting their annual
tree and plant sale. This event offers a wide variety of trees and
wildflower seeds at a low cost. The SWCD offers these materials to
encourage landowners to increase or establish windbreaks, prevent,
erosion, provide wildlife protection and enhance the natural
environment. This event is open to the public with no restrictions on
who can purchase or where these trees and flowers can be planted. The
plants available are bare root stock,
making them economical to purchase. Most tree seedlings are three years
old and range in size from 12-36 inches, depending on species. New this
year, the tree and plant sale features three species of 3 gallon potted
trees as well as garden cover crop seed mixes. The Fulton SWCD staff is
available to assist customers with plant selection that will best meet
their needs. They can assist customers by: identifying plants suitable
for specific soil types, providing information on how to plant
seedlings, suggesting varieties that attract wildlife and various other
areas that help increase the value and enjoyment that trees and plants
can bring to property owners. The district also has tree planting bars
and a tree seedling planter (pulled behind a tractor) available for
rent.
