Now open! The 2026 Annual Native Plant & Tree Sale!
Each year the District sells shrubs and trees, both conifers and deciduous, in bundles of 20-25. We also offer a variety of native plants and seed mixes.
Trees help reduce erosion, protect water quality, increase energy conservation, improve wildlife habitat, and may increase the value of your property. If you have questions about what species to plant or would like to be added to the tree sale list, please call 218-749-2000 or email rachel@nslswcd.org.
Orders are accepted on a first come, first served basis, as supplies last. The Online Store will have the most up-to-date availability as supplies run out. All orders must be paid in full at time of order. You may mail your order with a check to 505 3rd St. N Ste. A Virginia, 55792. Checks should be made out to North St. Louis SWCD. Mail orders will be processed when they are received at our office. You may also call our office at 218-749-2000 to order over the phone using a credit card. All proceeds are used for conservation efforts in the northern part of St. Louis County.
Due to the perishable nature of trees & shrubs and the numerous other factors beyond our control, the SWCD cannot guarantee tree survival and does not offer refunds or replacements. The SWCD is not responsible for the size of the trees it receives, as vendors make substitutions and seedlings grow at different rates depending on conditions.
Order pick up days are subject to change in the event of a late spring thaw. In the event of a pickup date change, you will receive an email or mail notification.
