PictureBeautiful black aronia berries!
We're offering low-cost native plants that produce berries, roots, nuts and herbs for yards and gardens with a spring plant sale. They're from NH and NY state forest nurseries, and Cold Stream Farm in MI. The large volume of plants we ordered them qualified us for great discounts, and the overflow stock we can sell at reasonable prices to offset our costs.

The proceeds will fund public planting projects this spring.
Over their long lives, they will yield hundreds of pounds of fresh food. Plants are small, 1-2 ft. seedlings. Expect 3-8+ years for fruit. Pick up BARE ROOT plants in Northampton 1st weekend in May. All plants 5$ ea or 5 for 20$.
