In an on-going effort to promote the establishment of pollinator habitat, the Muskingum Soil and Water Conserva- tion District (MSWCD) is again offering various berry plants for sale. Proceeds from the sale benefit the college internship scholarship program.
The plants for sale have been selected for their attraction to pollinators, so please be advised that bees will be attracted to these same plants. All of the plants are deer resistant, meaning that they are not the first plants the deer will clean off your property. The berries are all hardy, easy to grow canes that come from nurseries in Michigan and Massachusetts, so they will be winter-hardy to our area. Berries bloom very early, offering pollinators food sources before many other plants bloom.
Orders are being taken for a limited number of plants on a first come-first serve basis. Orders will be taken until April 26th or until the plants are sold out. Orders may be placed at the MSWCD office or mailed to 225 Under- wood Street, Suite 100, Zanesville, Ohio 43701. Payment must be submitted with the order. Orders can also be placed on-line at www.muskingumswcd.org. There is a 4% service fee for credit card orders placed on-line or in the office.
Projected delivery to our office is mid-May. We will notify you by postcard or email when the plants can be picked up. You must pick up your plants on the specified date because we do not have a place to keep the plants. The plants are small (2-4” pots). There are no refunds or exchanges, and we reserve the right to make substitutions. All sales are final. Berries are sold in bundles of three of one type of plant.
