WALPOLE, N.H. — The Cheshire County Conservation District is currently accepting orders for its Annual Conservation Plant Sale. 2019 offerings include a variety of fruit trees, berries, shade trees, shrubs, groundcover, perennials, medicinals, summer blubs, wildflower seed mix, and local mushrooms. Shipping costs are included.
Many of the species we offer are native, attractive to pollinators, and drought resistant. For this reason they are healthy, hardy plants adapted to our local growing conditions and beneficial to both the grower and wildlife. Once established they require less watering, fertilizers, and pesticides, saving you time and money. This year we are working with Fedco of Maine to bring you top quality plants and bring you mushrooms for your backyard from Wichland Woods of Keene, NH.
All proceeds help to cover operating costs of the CCCD and will benefit conservation efforts in Cheshire County. Thus, in addition to improving your landscape you are helping fund conservation projects in your local community. For more information and to receive order forms, contact the Conservation District office at 756-2988 ext. 115 or send an email to lola@cheshireconservation.org
