Ward Memorial Park sits off Lincoln Road, a rural stretch near Middleton and Caldwell.
Families come here for picnics, quiet walks, and a look at the park's historical marker.
A visit to our tree farm fits well into that same trip. You get to see and touch each tree before you choose. This beats guessing from photos online, where color and shape can look different in person.
We help you pick a healthy tree that suits your yard. No two yards are the same, and neither are our trees. Some need full sun, others do better with some shade during the day.
-Walk the rows and compare trees side by side
-Ask our staff questions before you commit
-Take home a tree you've already seen with your own eyes
Not sure which tree fits your space? Our staff can help you decide in just a few minutes.
We ask about your yard size and how much sun it gets. Then we point you toward trees that will do well there. A tree that thrives in an open field may struggle in a shaded corner lot.
Every yard is different, even within the same neighborhood. A quick chat with our team helps you avoid a costly mismatch. Getting this right the first time saves you money and years of waiting.
Our goal is simple. We want the tree you take home to actually grow well where you plant it.

New trees need a little care in their first few weeks at home. A little effort now saves you a lot of trouble later.
Staking your tree helps it stand firm while its roots take hold. Water it deeply and often during the first month, especially in dry stretches. Skipping this step is the most common reason a new tree struggles.
Mulch around the base holds in moisture and keeps weeds down. A few inches is plenty. Too much mulch piled against the trunk can do more harm than good. For more detail on proper planting and care, the University of Idaho Extension offers helpful guidance for homeowners.
- Stake the tree loosely so the trunk can still flex
- Water deeply two to three times a week at first
- Add a thin layer of mulch, kept back from the trunk
