Attention Elkhart-area folks! Today we will be giving out free native trees, made possible as a partner with the City of Goshen's urban forestry grant program. Between 9am and 1pm at Elkhart Farmers Market, we will be giving away these three tree species:

Sweet gum https://ag.purdue.edu/news/department/fnr/2022/07/intro-to-trees-of-indiana-sweetgum.html

Redbud (a small flowering tree)

White oak (an important tree for many pollinators, birds, and other wildlife)

Our goal is to get more trees planted in urban neighborhoods to increase urban tree canopy. Hope to see you come by!

Meet sweetgum or Liquidambar styraciflua. This species is easily identified by its leaves, which are shaped like a five-pointed star as well as its fruit, which are spiny spherical balls that hold tiny winged seeds inside.

These beautiful plants attract pollinators and they need a home!

'Autumn Joy' sedum, pawpaw, red osier dogwood, purple coneflower, and a few sage plants, among others. Price depends on size, ranging from $5 pots to $30 for some of the larger pawpaws with $10 and $20 sizes in between.

Come to our farm event on Tuesday Sept 29 for pick up, inquire if you'd like them sooner!

Greetings Elkhart Co folks!
Bushelcraft Farm continues to be part of an urban forestry grant project and has native trees to give away!

On Saturday Sept 12th from 9am-1pm, come to Elkhart Farmers Market where we will be giving away the following native trees:

Sweet Gum
Bald Cypress
Pin Oak
Redbud

This means trees that range from small to tall when mature and species that can handle dry and wet soils. We aim to find homes with folks who live in urban neighborhoods and who need shade in their yards! Spread the word. We'll also be coming again on Sept 26th. Stay tuned for that species list!

P.S. Bushelcraft Farm has baby pawpaw trees for sale...please inquire!

Come and join us in cleaning up the Elkhart river in Goshen next Friday!

You're invited to a community effort to help keep our waterways clean. 🛶 🧹 🛶

The Stormwater Dept. and Goshen AmeriCorps are hosting an Elkhart River clean-up day on July 17.

The event begins at 8 a.m. in Rogers Park and will end around 1 p.m. at C.R. 17. Volunteer positions range from paddling to assisting at drop-off and pickup sites. To volunteer, you must sign up by visiting https://bit.ly/3R1IIGm.

River cleanup events are important because they bring communities together around a common natural resource. They remove pollutants and help restore the natural landscape for people and wildlife.
