PCSWCD’s 17th annual Tree & Plant Sale
DOVER-FOXCROFT — Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District offers an annual Tree and Plant Sale, which features a wide variety of vegetable seedlings, annual and perennial flowers, fruits, flowering shrubs, apple trees, American chestnut trees, homesteading goods and more! We source our plants from local farms and our homesteading products are sourced from local businesses.
The benefits of ordering from PCSWCD’s Tree and Plant sale include supporting District educational programming, support for local farms and businesses, planting native plants that attract wildlife and pollinators, growing your own food and becoming more self-sufficient and adding beauty to your property. The plants offered through this sale bring beneficial insects and pollinators to your gardens, helping to increase harvests of fruits, berries, flowers, vegetables and also benefiting forest ecosystems. If that wasn’t enough to entice you, when you order from this sale, we do all the work of selecting, packaging and preparing your plants and trees for you — all you have to do is pick them up on May 15. It’s so easy!
PCSWCD’s Tree and Plant Sale online ordering system is now open until May 1. You can access the sale catalog and order system by heading to our website www.piscataquisswcd.org. Our online catalog features color photos of each product, a description of each plant, planting recommendations and even suggestions for companion plants.
The sale showcases beautiful, healthy plants from Checkerberry Farm, Ripley Farm, North Branch Farm, Helios Horsepower Farm and Ellis Greenhouse & Nursery. Additionally, we are working with Maine Resource Recovery Center to source rain barrels, kitchen pails, composters and more. New in 2025, we are working with ER Palmer Lumber to offer ramial wood chips, which are the ideal soil implement and mulch for fruit trees and shrubs. We are also offering some of your favorite, must-have annual flowers including sunflowers, cosmos, sweet alyssum and marigolds!
Pick up for all orders is on May 15 at the Law Farm Nature Trails, Dover-Foxcroft, between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m. We encourage you to take a moment and browse our online sale, which can be found at our website www.piscataquisswcd.org.
