MN County Soil & Water Conservation Districts. Many county soil and water conservation districts in Minnesota purchase seedlings from General Andrews Nursery and resell them to the general public without minimum purchases required on your part. Same great seedlings and transplants. Excellent way to try out your planting skills or to start a reforestry program. Call your local district WELL ahead of time to order.
