KCD’s annual Native Plant Sale offers a variety of native trees and shrubs 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, so order early for the best deals and availability! Ordering closes at 12:00noon on Friday, February 5, 2024. Contact plantsale@kingcd.org with questions.
KCD’s Native Plant Sale Pick-Up days are Saturday, March 2 from 9:00am to 12noon and from 1:30pm to 4:30pm and Sunday, March 3 from 9:00am to 1:00pm.
*Updates
- Beargrass and Early Blue Violet did not germinate properly and are not available this year.
- Sitka Spruce and Grand Fir are bareroot, not plugs as mentioned in earlier documentation and the store.
