Blue Water Conservation District 2026 Tree sale
Each spring, Macomb County teams up with the Blue Water Conservation District to bring the annual Tree and Plant Sale to the community. The sale offers residents a chance to purchase young trees, fruit trees, flowering shrubs, wildflower seed, and other fruits and vegetables at reasonable prices. It's an easy way for families, gardeners, and property owners to invest in greener spaces while supporting conservation efforts across the region.
Why planting trees matters
Planting trees is one of the simplest and most impactful ways individuals can contribute to a healthier environment. Trees improve air quality, reduce soil erosion, provide shade that lowers energy costs, and create critical habitat for pollinators and wildlife. Over time, they also help strengthen neighborhoods by increasing green space, beautifying properties, and building a stronger connection to the land we live on.
Growing your own food, growing independence
Beyond trees, the Tree and Plant Sale encourages residents to explore growing their own fruits and vegetables. From fruit trees and berry plants to garden staples, these options make it easier to grow food at home. Growing your own produce supports self-sufficiency and resilience, helps families reconnect with where their food comes from, and promotes healthier lifestyles, all while reducing reliance on large-scale food systems. Offerings include heritage raspberries and Jersey Knight asparagus, with prices ranging from $9 to $35.
Get involved this spring
Macomb County encourages residents to take advantage of this year's Tree and Plant Sale and be part of a growing effort to strengthen our local environment. Whether you're planting a single tree, starting a home garden, or expanding an existing landscape, every plant contributes to a healthier, more resilient community.
Orders are available for a limited time and quantities are limited. Residents are encouraged to plan ahead and place orders early. For details on available items, ordering deadlines, and pickup information, visit the Blue Water Conservation District website.
Together, these small planting decisions add up to long-term benefits for households, neighborhoods, and the entire region.
