Subject: ECIMN Native Tree and Shrub Sale - Open to the Public

The Native Tree and Shrub Sale is now open to the public.  Please pass the word along to friends, families, and neighbors.  While we do try to make a small profit from this venture, our real motivation is to expand the use of native trees and shrubs in our urban and rural landscapes.  I suspect many people are unfamiliar with the beautiful shrubs we are making available.  We selected plants that are difficult to find from local nurseries.
