2025 Tree, Plant and Trout Sales

Annual tree, shrub, plant, and trout sales take place throughout the state of Vermont each spring. These events have a long tradition and are an excellent resource for native species planting, supporting local economies, and district fundraisers. We will update this page on a regular basis to reflect changes and timely updates. We recommend reaching out to Conservation Districts directly with questions on specific events.

Franklin County NRCD

The Franklin County Natural Resources Conservation District has been holding a spring tree sale at least as long as our Board can remember – and that goes back to 1978! The primary goal is to make native trees and backyard fruit trees affordable and accessible in our community, and it is also a fundraiser for our conservation programs and education. In 2025, we continue to expand our offerings with the addition of five new deciduous hardwoods: the natives American Mountain Ash, Yellow Birch, Boxelder, and Black Willow, and the crowd favorite Weeping Willow. New varieties of strawberry, currant, peach, cherry, and apple round out our extensive edible and medicinal offerings, along with two new shrubs, the flowering Rose of Sharon and the fragrant Spicebush. We are also excited to offer two new native seed mixes that address erodible and compacted site conditions.

Poultney Mettowee NRCD

The goal of this sale is to make native plants and fruit producing plants more available within the community. There are many benefits to using locally grown, native plants in your landscape. Native plants are more likely to thrive in our regional climate and they provide critical resources for wildlife. Consider these plants for backyard birds and pollinators, stabilizing stream banks and shorelines, or for use in rain gardens. We source our trees from Vermont (many are from our own nursery!) and neighboring states, when possible, to ensure that the plants we offer are adapted to and will thrive in the local climate and soils. New this year –  Champlain Valley Native Plant Restoration Nursery T-shirts. All funds generated by this fundraiser are used to support District and Nursery educational and technical programming.
