The King County Conservation District’s native bareroot plant sale is under way.

The District offers a variety of native trees and shrubs for conservation purposes, including wildlife habitat, windbreaks, hedgerows, reforestation, and stream enhancement.

The plants 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.

To order and pay for your plants by credit card online at www.kingcd.org. The minimum order $30. All orders must be pre-paid. Purchase orders are acceptable for agencies, businesses and nonprofit organizations.

All orders must be placed by Feb. 9 and are to be picked up from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 1 at the King Conservation District, 1107 SW Grady Way, Renton, WA 98057.

No delivery is available.

Quantities are limited. All plants are sold on a first-come, first served basis.
