Last Call For Trees And Shrubs From The Nature Museum's Native Tree And Shrub Sale

The deadline to place your orders with The Nature Museum's Native Tree & Shrub Sale is Thursday, March 15! Your order helps the Museum to raise funds, and it helps our backyards to raise birds, insects, and other wildlife. And of course, it will bring year-round beauty to your own place on the planet. Here's how it works:

Choose from alternate-leaf dogwood (Cornus alternifolia), common sweetshrub (Calycanthus floridus), shadbush (Amelanchier canadensis) and winterberry (Ilex verticillata). See the attached flyer for detailed information on the species and its cultivation and an order form. Place your order by March 15 and then take delivery in the spring.

The Museum selects plants based on four-season interest, hardiness to this area, wildlife value, and, of course, beauty! Alternate-leaf dogwood features graceful architecture and creamy flowers, the calycanthus offers fragrant burgundy flowers and unusual fruit, shadbush is known for its early spring show and edible fruit, and winterberry for its spectacular winter display of scarlet berries. All these species have more going for them - see the attachment or visit our website at www.nature-museum.org for details.

Prices range from $35 to $50 and are typical retail prices. Proceeds support the Museum's educational programming and signature events like the Pale Blue Dot. Supplies are limited, and pre-orders only are accepted. Order and payment is due by March 15; we'll contact you regarding the pick-up date. The Museum gratefully acknowledges our partner in this venture, Rugg Valley Landscaping. Call the Museum at 843-2111 or visit our website to add native beauty and birds to your property today!
