Chickasaw homeowners have an opportunity to enhance the appearance of their homes by participating in the Chickasaw Landscaping products program.
Open to all Chickasaw homeowners who reside within the tribal boundaries, the Landscaping Products program provides a set number of colorful flowers, shrubs, grasses, trees and lush sod to Chickasaw homeowners.
Participants can select from a wide variety of flora for their home, said Karla Windy Boy, program director.
The greenery and turf are grown at Chickasaw Farms in Davis, Oklahoma.
Applicants are required to provide proof of residence (utility bill with the applicant's name), proof of home ownership, a completed application and a copy of their Chickasaw citizenship card.
Sod for existing homes is available for pick up at the Chickasaw Farm on Fridays and requesters must call (580) 235-7234, (580) 399-9991 or (580) 399-7568 earlier in the week to request their order. The months of operation are April 15 through October 15.
Applicants must do their own dirt work in preparation for the sod.
Sod installation is also available for new home construction within the Chickasaw Nation.
