Description

[Shopping] Festive California Native Plant Sale to Celebrate California Native Plant Week

California Native Plant Week 2012 is April 15 - April 21. Join us as we celebrate with a tradition in the SF Bay Area—the annual fundraiser at the Regional Parks Botanic Garden. Whether you're an amateur gardener or a pro, you'll find plants to your liking at this festive native plant sale.  Rain or shine experts will answer questions, such as:  “What plants would do well in clay soil?”  “Any suggestions for a garden that doesn’t get much sun?”  “Which plants attract butterflies?”  “You got any ‘deer proof’ plants?” “Could you help a novice get started?”  They’ll help you choose California native shrubs, perennials, grasses and trees—many you won't find in a commercial nursery.

Volunteers who propagate plants from the Garden's collection have been working year-round; other volunteers have been cleaning and packaging native seeds.  All proceeds from the sale will directly benefit the Garden. Bring empty boxes to carry your treasures home.  

Insider’s Tip:  Seasoned shoppers come before 10:00am to get in one of the three lines.  

If you’d rather shop between noon and 3:00pm, you’d miss the party-scene but our volunteers will be getting their second wind. No entrance admission or parking fee. Come by to cheer for the hardworking volunteers who support the Garden. See you there!
