UNION — Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District will hold its Spring Plant Sale, Saturday, May 11, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Union Fairgrounds.

Plants have been chosen for their value as windbreaks, lakeshore buffers, bank stabilization, erosion control, and wildlife habitat – including songbirds, pollinators, and beneficial insects. Individual varieties were selected for productivity, pest and disease resistance, a variety of soil and light conditions – and to provide beauty and color in the home landscape from spring through fall.

Many plants that are available are responsibly grown by Crystal Lake Farm & Nursery in Washington and from Rebel Hill Farm in Liberty, according to the SWCD, in a news release.

Credit cards, checks and cash payment methods will be accepted.

Also available will be Backyard Compost Bin and Rain Barrel items, including Systern rain barrels, Earth Machine and Trap-Wire compost bins, compost turners and thermometers. For description and prices, refer to: https://www.knox-lincoln.org/backyard-sale.

Proceeds of the sale benefit the conservation district’s education and outreach programs.
