Time to order your trees and wildflowers from the county! Below is a link to the Programs page. The fourth item down is the Tree and Wildflower sale. Links to the brochure and to an order form are found there. Pickup is at the Webster fairgrounds at the end of April for trees and shrubs and the beginning of June for seedlings and seeds. If you can't get there for pickup, someone from the club can probably pick up your items for you. Note: Anything not picked up on the pickup days will be disposed of and no refund given.
Here is the link:

A Great Presentation!!
Despite the rain and the threat of freezing rain we had a great turn out for Dan Sandager of Abrahamson's Landscape Design Nursery. Dan is living the dream with his landscape design business expanded to three locations with a nursery at the St. Croix Falls location. His presentation included slides of various hardscaping features from walls to walks, outdoor kitchens, fire pits and water features. He took questions throughout and showed slides and gave advice on how-to build gravity restraining walls and how to lay pavers for those ambitious souls willing to take on big projects.
Dan was an engaging speaker and we all enjoyed the program. Thank you Dan!! And thank you to Joan who helped with the slide projector. You will see us all at the St. Croix Falls garden center in the spring!
Mary C and husband Jim won the door prize, Tiki Torches to light up their patio!
Delightful refreshments were provided by Ruth and Kris. Thank you Ruth and Kris!
