Pre-ordering is under way for the 2015 King Conservation District Native Bareroot Plant Sale Saturday, Feb. 28.
The annual sale features nearly three dozen species of native trees, shrubs and groundcovers. All early bird orders placed by the end of November get 10 percent off.
The King Conservation District offers a variety of native trees and shrubs for conservation purposes such as 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, are easy to handle, transport and plant.
The in-person sale and pre-order pickup is 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the King Conservation District west parking lot, 1107 S.W. Grady Way, Renton.
