The St. Lawrence County Soil and Water Conservation District is taking orders for its 2014 tree seedling and shrub program until April 4.

Prices start at $1 and go up to $8.50 each, depending on the species ordered. Minimum order is 10 of one species, unless otherwise stated. Prices go down with bigger orders.

There are over 31 species of plants available including evergreens, hardwoods, fruit trees, nut trees and ground covers. Also available are species for songbirds or butterflies, and many other types of planting supplies.
