Welcome, Bienvenidos!
Our annual Fall Plant Sale is almost here!
September 23 - September 29, 2024
- All sales are in our online nursery -
For Central Coast gardeners, fall is a great time to plant cool-weather food crops, California native plants and other perennials, when the soil is still warm and can get established with our winter rains.
Our fall plant collection features drought-tolerant, water-wise, and native and/or pollinator perennials with a robust selection of winter vegetables and herbs. The collection also includes a selection of indoor plants, succulents and bulbs ready for the garden.
All orders will be fulfilled by appointment, with appointments available in Salinas and at our demonstration garden in Watsonville.
Our "doors" open at 6:00 am on
Monday, September 23rd!
Have a pest problem? Or wondering which plants are drought-resistant? We are here to help our local home gardening community. Contact us on our advice line!
