2027 Plant Sale

KCD’s annual Native Plant Sale offers a variety of native trees, shrubs, and groundcovers for conservation purposes such as wildlife habitat, windbreaks, hedgerows, reforestation and stream enhancement. They also work great on home and garden projects. A majority of the plants offered are bareroot stock which means they do not come in pots or burlap bags, but are harvested from the field in winter when the plants are dormant and ready to be replanted. Bareroot plants are affordable, hardy, have well-developed roots, and are easy to handle, transport and plant. All sales are pre-order/pre-purchase only. We do not offer walk-up sale of plants during the pick-up dates. We do sell out of plants (many in the first week), so order early for the best deals and availability!

Our inventory changes slightly from year to year, but we offer many of the same species each year. The store is closed, but you can review last year’s plants.
