Knox-Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District holds its Spring Plant Sale, Backyard Conservation Sale & Garden Fair at Union Fairgrounds on Saturday, May 3 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Sunday, May 4 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The sale offers bareroot fruit trees, berries, and asparagus roots for the edibles garden; bareroot native trees and shrubs for conservation, wildlife, and landscape plantings; and organically grown native perennials in 1-gallon pots to attract bees and butterflies. New this year, we have teamed up with Waldo SWCD and Maine Resource Recovery Association to help build soil and conserve water by offering Earth Saver compost bins, SUreClose compost pails, Wingdigger compost turners, and Systern rain barrels at deep discount prices! These items may be preordered through May 4 for pick-up on May 27.

This year we have a well-stocked selection of more than 100 varieties.

On Saturday, the Garden Fair includes talks, demonstrations, and exhibits to provide answers to a wide range of plant and conservation concerns.s
