The Hamilton County Conservation District and the Great Parks of Hamilton County are partnering once again to host a Native Tree and Shrub Sale.  The sale offers a variety of native trees and shrubs at a low cost. Planting trees and native plants can reduce the negative effects of stormwater runoff. Trees and native plants can intercept and hold large amounts of water while reducing soil erosion by slowing down the speed of stormwater runoff. Native plants are adapted to our local climate and provide rich habitat for local wildlife. Plants will be in 3-gallon containers and will be 1-5ft. tall. 
Order: July 15th - August 23th 
Pick Up: Saturday, September 7th from 9 am - 1 pm
Plants must be picked up prior to 1 pm on Saturday, September 7, 2024. Any trees not picked up by 1 pm on September 7, 2024, will be donated to the Great Parks of Hamilton County.
​No refunds will be given.
