California Fall 2018 Plant Sales

Fall is a glorious time to plant in California. The days are getting shorter and the weather is cooler. There are many plants sales hosted by public gardens and non-profit organizations. They’re typically staffed by knowledgeable master gardeners – so you get expert help and advice while shopping. Many of these events include hard-to-find native and rare plants that you won’t find anywhere else. And if that weren’t enough, many plants will be offered at unbeatable prices and provide much-needed funding for these organizations.

Be sure to check the links before attending the sales. Many of the native plants sale websites provide a listing of plant availability so you can do some planning and research before attending the sale.
