Lots of volunteers, doing lots of good work. This was my first time volunteering for a collective tree\/shrub planting. It was great fun. Everyone is happy to be there, ready to work and getting some exercise. I will definitely seek out more opportunities to dig in \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>If you are looking for some ideas on what to plant and where to buy some trees or shrubs, I have a few suggestions. The Sherwood Rotary tree sale is underway in the Albertson&#8217;s parking lot. $10 per bareroot tree. \u00a0I bought myself two peach trees to fill out my orchard and one Golden Chain. I&#8217;ve always wanted one and they had a great specimen. They also have just about any kind of fruit tree you can imagine, lots of willows, maples, oaks, alders, etc. Just make sure that when \u00a0you go that you are ready to plant right away. Bareroot trees dry out very quickly and you really want to get them in the ground before the completely leaf out. \u00a0The trees are small, but they&#8217;ll grow. I bought some birch 3 years ago and am really happy with their progress. And, hey, I mean $10! Awesome!!<\/p>\n<p>Another good source of trees and bareroot fruit bushes right now is Loens Nursery on Hwy 99. The trees are 40% off. I bought a beautiful Dogwood for just $50&#8230;a steal for sure. They have great deals on bareroot grapes, blueberries, currants, raspberries, etc. At the Stella Olsen planting I discovered I had to have some currants. I bought both black and yellow shrubs. Can&#8217;t wait to taste them this summer. \u00a0They have great flowers and a really interesting smell, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The best\u00a0time to plant a tree is twenty years ago.
