Fall Inventory Reduction Sale: Just Got HUGE-ER!

NOTE: As of 10/17 our Fall Plant Sale is now over, we donated our last 243 plants to the Goodman Community Center and Atwood Prairie. We are still planting trees and shrubs if you're interested in some, but we're done with native perennials and grasses for 2011.

We've got a lot of plants left over this year that ABSOLUTELY MUST GO in our HUGE fall INVENTORY REDUCTION SALE!!!

UPDATE: As of 9/29 we just got another 250 plants left over from a project.  Lots of great new plants, prairie grasses and enough woodland species for a fine, fine planting!

We have a lot of plants that we'd like to see people put in the ground, since we don't have much room to overwinter plants, so we're selling them all off at... HUGE SAVINGS, ALL ITEMS ARE 50% OFF OR MORE!!!

Sorry, couldn't help myself.  Seriously though, everything is on sale for half their normal retail price (or better).  Below is a regularly updated list of what we have left in our inventory, please email me at frank at goodoakllc dot com, to call "dibs" on some plants.

*Price does not include sales tax. All plants are to be picked up at Good Oak World Headquarters at 205 Walter St, Madison.  Delivery and installation are available for additional charges.

Good Oak's Gentian Guide

Just in time for the fall flower season, I've put together a guide to all of the gentians of Wisconsin and Illinois.  This project is in many ways a prototype, just one example of the kind of information we can relay by means of the plant database we are developing.  Enjoy, and let me know what you think!

Downy gentian, and the bee-mimicing fly that has come to pollinate it.
