[Neighbors] Anyone ever buy seedlings from the NM forestry program?

[Heather Gordon]

Hi Sherry,
The default "flowering shrub package" that opens up in the drop down menu
on the right does have those elevation requirements, but many of the other
plant packages [like the native pollinator plants package, described
as "Package
contains 14 New Mexico Forestiera, 14 Apache Plume, 14 Skunkbush sumac, and
7 Rocky Mountain Penstemon. For specific species characteristics see
individual seedling descriptions. This package plants that are preferred by
our native pollinators] have lower elevation requirements. There are over
70 different species offered, including desert willow, so it looks like
there's something for everyone in our state! :)
Thanks, Heather
