"Final call" Extra Tree Sales: Saturday April 19, 10am-11am

We will sell all first-come first-serve, so come early to get in line!  We'll be in Shed D at the Farm Council grounds, and come follow the signs to get in line for extra plants and materials. Learn more about our Spring Tree and Shrub Sale!
