Our next Leaf by Leaf read: Walden by Henry David

Our next Leaf by Leaf read: Walden by Henry David Thoreau

Join us in June for an in-person gathering filled with good conversation, light refreshments, and fellow readers who feel most at home in the natural world. Didn’t read the book? That’s ok! You are welcome too.

📅 Friday, June 19
⏰ 6 PM
📍 106 E. Spring Rd

Bring your copy, your curiosity, and a thought or question to share. This isn’t about perfect analysis, it’s about connection. We’ll talk, listen, reflect, and explore what resonates together.

Book club is more than a discussion, it’s a space to slow down, build community, and grow something meaningful over time.

RSVP to maggie@sgntrees.com so we can plan snacks and seating.

Let’s celebrate the season, the roots beneath us, and the community growing around us.

P.S. A new documentary on Henry David Thoreau is now available to stream on PBS if you are interested...

The month of May is off to a busy start at the nur

The month of May is off to a busy start at the nursery! Our SGN Team has finished pulling trees in from the field to our above ground sales & shipping yards.

We are still in the middle of shipping out Spring orders with semi loads of trees hitting the road daily from the field. We are looking forward to seeing our SGN Trees planted in communities across the region!

We celebrated Arbor Day at the end of April with local schools and communities, planting trees with kids locally, throughout the Chicagoland region, and all the way down to southern Illinois!

This is one of our favorite times of year – there is so much going on in the field and in our communities.

April Tree of the Month: Malus Crabapples (Malus)

April Tree of the Month: Malus

Crabapples (Malus) are a staple in the landscape for a reason. They are beautiful, reliable, and an excellent pollinator and habitat for birds, insects, and animals. They fit comfortably into a wide range of spaces, like streetscapes, parkways, residential yards, municipal plantings. Their size, blooms, and seasonal interest make crabapples an excellent choice for smaller spaces and front yards. From a grower’s perspective, we appreciate their adaptability and the diversity within the genus. From a designer’s perspective, they offer endless opportunities to layer color, texture, and habitat into a planting!

Malus Firebird (shown above) is a compact, unique selection with gorgeous blooms.

This cultivar out of Johnson’s Nursery bursts with pink buds and white flowers in the spring before producing red fruits in the fall that hold on through winter. This selection is perfect for tight, small spaces or as the focal point of an ornamental garden.
