Help Unload the Truck… Pretty Please!
Apparently spring is coming early in the Prairies, and the nursery can’t hold onto my trees any longer—they’re desperate to get them out of there! So desperate, in fact, that they’re shipping them this weekend.
That means the big tree truck is now scheduled to arrive on Monday, April 21st. We’re expecting another full 53-ft trailer overflowing with trees and shrubs. Once again, I could really use a hand unloading it.
If you’re available and want to come help (and maybe get a sneak peek of the new stock—or even walk away with a freebie), just reply to this email.
We’re Opening Early!
Since the truck is coming so early, we’re bumping up Opening Day to April 29th!
Opening day for order pick ups will start April 29th this year.
Hours will remain unchanged from last years
Tuesdays 12-4
Friday 10-4
Saturdays 10-4
If you'd like to come before your scheduled pick-up date, no need to reach out—just show up, and we’ll accommodate you, no problem.
Also: hardy trees and shrubs actually prefer to be planted as early as possible. It’s best if they wake up in their new home without even realizing they’ve been moved. You don’t need to protect them from the weather—just get them in the ground as soon as you can!
Restock Alert: White Grapes Are Back!
I was able to get my hands on more Eona white grapes, which sold out almost instantly this spring. Order now if you missed them the first time around.
Meeker’s Mix – Available Again!
I’m excited to share that Meeker’s Magic Mix will be back in stock for opening day! This powerful planting blend is available loose, so bring a bucket, tote, or even line your truck bed with a tarp—we’ve seen it all.
This year, we’ve expanded our offerings and have a great collection of new for 2025 products, including new flower varieties, an increased range of fruit trees, some native and permaculture trees and hardy roses.
I also have a great book now available, "Grow Fruit Trees Fast: A Beginner's Guide to a Healthy Harvest in Record Time - By Susan Poizner." This is a great simple reference with everything you need to know to be successful!

We’re so excited for this season, and we’re incredibly grateful for your continued support of Beautiful Field Farm and Fruit Trees. If you have any questions, want to attend a workshop, or get involved with Spoutlings Flora Farms, just reply to this email.
See you soon—spring is here! 🌱
We’re thrilled to introduce Spouting's Flora Farms, the kids’ new business venture! They had so much fun last year with their flower seedlings, plant propagation, and bee houses and crafts that they have some big plans for this year.
This year, they’ll be once again offering 9 varieties of wildflower seedlings:
They’re also planning to start a few vegetable seedlings as well!
Spoutlings Flora Farms will also be offering garden cleanup services:
This includes tasks like splitting annuals, controlling raspberry suckers, and digging up extra plants from people’s gardens. They’ll be saving and replanting these plants for resale. If you’re planning to do this yourself and don’t have a new home in mind for your plants, the kids are excited to accept your donations (and I know if you ask their dad nicely, he could probably give you a tree or something in exchange as well).
If you’re interested in having them at your place, just send me an email or reach out on social media, and we’ll figure out when we can attend your place. They don’t have a set price and are happy to accept whatever you’re willing to pay them.
