The native plant sale is one way UCD encourages the restoration of natural habitats and promotes native species, said a press release, and makes for a low-cost way for property owners in Skamania and western Klickitat Counties to obtain native trees and shrubs. Last year, UCD’s Native Plant Sale helped to get more than 20,000 native plants in the ground.
UCD’s plant sale includes a variety of species — flowering shrubs that will attract beneficial insects to your garden; fire- and drought-resistant species; large trees that provide shade year round to your home or creek; and hardwoods to bring vibrant colors each fall.
“Planting native trees and shrubs serves a number of purposes including reforestation, erosion control, improving bird and wildlife habitat, visual buffers, and stream enhancement — all while adding beauty and color to the landscape,” said the press release.
UCD is accepting online orders for native conifer, hardwood and shrub seedlings and seed mixes until Thursday, Feb. 29 at 5 p.m. All orders will be available for pick-up on Saturday, March 23 in White Salmon.
Plants are ordered in bundles of 10 plants of the same species. Single stems may be purchased on the day of pick-up at UCD’s annual TreeFest event. Species variety and quantity vary at the TreeFest sale; if you would like to be certain of obtaining the native plants you desire, please place an online order.
And as in past years, large-quantity discounts are available for conifer species; call for details if you are ordering more than 60 conifer bundles.
Don’t forget to check out native seed mixes. UCD offers two seed mixes — a native meadow grasses and a mix of pollinator-friendly grass and flower species — both are available in several quantities.
