Why it's called a Tulip Tree
NATIVE TREE (and SHRUB) SALE -- THE LIST!
Our next tree sale will be Saturday October 6th, 8 am - 2 pm, in front of Murdale Ace Hardware, in conjunction with Green Earth's sale of other native perennials (incl. grasses and ferns). Fall is a great time to plant - it gives the roots time to get comfortable in their new home without worrying about leaves, drying out, etc. Order early and save $$.
Scroll down for trees and shrubs ... all native species that belong in this environment.

Aldo Leopold wrote in A Sand County Almanac ... Acts of creation are ordinarily reserved for gods and poets, but humbler folk may circumvent this restriction if they know how. To plant a pine, for example, one need be neither a god nor poet; one need only own a shovel. |
