Tree Sale Pic 2.jpg

Our spring sale for trees, shrubs, strawberry plants and other products is now open for online orders! We do this annual sale as a way to increase reforestation in Berrien County and as a fundraiser for our organization. Order Deadline April 12, 2024.  

Please see the online store at the top of the page or click here: 

All products must be picked up, we do not ship. Pickup dates are:

Friday April 26th from 10am to 6pm and Saturday April 27th from 9am to 1pm

Location of pickup is the Berrien County Youth Fairgrounds, 9122 US Hwy 31, Berrien Springs, MI 49103.  Use Office gate across from United Federal Credit Union. Do not use the Shawnee Road Entrance, use the US Hwy 31 Entrance.

We get our seedlings from only trusted and well respected quality nurseries. We do our best to bundle and handle them in a manner to protect them so they will grow well for you. We are not a “big box” store. Once the seedlings leave here we cannot guarantee their survivability. Many factors go into a tree surviving: soil type, moisture, not getting watered enough, drought, disease, pests, deer and other critters, planted wrong (roots cannot grow),below freezing temperatures , lawnmowers, etc.!

Thank you for planting trees!
