Current Sales

Fall Bare Root Seedlings (Trees and Shrubs)
Order Pick-Up Date & Time: Saturday, April 22, 2022 10 am to 3 pm

Seedlings (6-24 inches tall) are available in bundles of 5, 10, 25, and more (up to 1,000) of each species. All seedlings are bare root, which means there is no soil surrounding the roots when you receive them and are ready to go in the ground as soon as you pick them up. Pre- order sales are now closed. 

A limited amount of extra stock may be available for sale during pickup days. Extra stock is sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Bring boxes or wagon to carry your plants in and coverings to protect your car.

Pickup Location: 3260 Eagle Park Drive NE, Grand Rapids. KCD parking lot, corner of Leonard & Beltline (just north of Meijer Gardens). There is plenty of parking as it is a very large office complex.
