The SFTF Advantage
Business Stuff
Our front yard. The trees are taking over.
Welcome!
Welcome to Sherwood's Forests Tree Farm.
We grow and sell Alberta hardy trees.
In this section:
- The SFTF Advantage talks about why our trees are special.
- Business Stuff is where you find our current (more or less...) price list and inventory, and ordering information.
- Services talks about things we do besides sell trees. E.g. custom growing, planting, trees for weddings or parties, cut your own Christmas Trees, and even a grove-in-the-forest wedding chapel.
- Contact Us has our snail mail address, hours, and maps of how to visit.
- Mission gives you an introduction to what we are about, and why we do it.
- Jobs is primarily for local people, mostly high school students, who may be interested in working for me.
- Site Map is a list of all the links on the site for when you get lost.
In the other main sections:
Trees
Descriptions and pictures of the trees we sell. These pages speak of what I know about the tree, its preferences for soil, light, and water, how fast it grows, shape.
Mountain Pine
Advice
Perhaps this section should be called Opinions, or maybe Notions. It's my take on how to do things with trees. Articles about shelterbelts, landscaping considerations, watering, and, eventually, oodles of other stuff as I find time to write.
Our Forests
Pictures and text describing my forests, and how they change with the seasons and the years.
Almanac
On any other site this would be called 'blog'. What an ugly word! I prefer Almanac, which captures the flow of seasons. Notes about what I'm doing, and seeing on the farm. My way of sharing a bit of the beauty and magic of my world.
Links
Sites and places I've found useful. Some are quite technical, some are links to suppliers with stuff that's hard to find.
Soapbox
We've all done it. Talking over the fence, or sharing a beer at the pub, we come up with an idea, a solution to one of the problems of the world. I've taken that one step further, and written some of these down. They aren't limited to trees, but most of them tie into conservation, stewardship, neighborliness, morality. Some of them even may work.
Site Navigation
I dislike sites that have so many links that you find yourself wandering in circles. Navigation here is in a hierarchy, much like the folders on your computer. General stuff near the top level. Specific stuff a few layers deep. At any point, the menu items in white show you where you are in the directory.
If there is a right-pointing arrowhead, there are more topics underneath. If it's just a ball, then you are at a 'leaf node.' You've bottomed out.
If you have questions, comments, suggestions, rants, or raves; If you want to be emailed with my current inventory when it becomes available; if you just want to know when major updates have happend, drop me a line.
