Directions

We'll have just about everything from native bulbs, seeds, books, and posters, to plants.
From Abies to Yucca; there will be over 150 different species totaling more than 3000 pots.
This is a good place to see California native plants close-up and learn more about them.
Talk to professional native plant gardeners about their care.
Read the informative signs with photographs of each plant in bloom, its natural habitat and range, and horticultural hints.
We have an excellent selection of handouts to take home and books and other items to purchase.
Plan to come early as some species sell out in minutes and most plants are gone by noon.
Bring your little red wagons and boxes.
There is a loading zone on Village Place in front of the patio.

Information for Volunteers:

Before the Sale: A few people are needed the week before the sale to help with plant deliveries, a few volunteers are also needed to go to the nurseries and tag plants.

Seed Team:Amy Huie volunteered to be our new seed and bulb team leader. We say goodbye to Gay Dorius who will be learning how to garden at her new home near Yosemite National Park. Amy has been in touch with most of the volunteers who worked with Gay but if there is anyone else
out there who would like to help out, please get in touch with Amy directly at amyhuie@usa.com.

At the Plant Sale: Volunteers are needed for the set-up, ticket writing, plant loading, refreshment table, book and seed sales, security and customer service.

There is a job for everyone!
