The 2022 Linn County Small Woodlands Association Seedling Sale is on track for another successful year with proceeds providing college scholarships, 4-H awards, and other educational programs. We have received over two hundred pre-orders with more than 10,000 plants ready to be packaged and delivered at our seedling sale. With the help of our amazing and dedicated volunteers, we look forward to making that happen!

A small group of volunteers recently gathered at Steve & Katie Kohl’s forestland to dig and wrap more than 100 sword ferns in preparation for the sale. A huge “thank you” to them for generously sharing their bounty of sword ferns!

The nurseries are going to have great weather to get those plants dug and gathered for our sale. We sold out of several favorites such as Nordmann Fir, Blue Elderberry, Indian-Plum, and Red Flowering Currant. We are working with the nurseries to get additional stock on other plants. There may be a slight variation in sizes, based on what the nurseries have available after our initial order.

Seedling Stock Update

• We sold out of several favorites such as Nordmann Fir, Blue Elderberry, Indian-Plum, Vine Maple, and Red Flowering Currant.
