The ever-popular Santa Cruz Chapter Spring Plant Sale will be held in person at the UCSC Arboretum on Saturday April 8th! We have a fabulous selection of California Natives lined up for this sale featuring plants from our local area and the central coast region, ready to brighten local gardens.

This Spring’s Plant Sale will feature well over 100 species of native plants, many of which are new offerings for our Chapter. Of particular interest will be a significantly expanded line-up of spring flowering annual wildflowers which provide instant garden color and diversity for pollinators. Many of these annuals are from locally sourced seed which means they were grown from seed collected from local lands around Santa Cruz County (with landowner permission, of course.) This is an exciting development for the Propagation Team, one we hope to pursue further as we work to acquire additional locally sourced propagules (seeds!) The Sale will also offer a wider selection of spring flowering bulbs and native grasses which bring beauty and texture into any garden space. As always, we will have lots of plants in our most popular genera: Iris, Erigeron, Diplacus, Artemisia, Achillea, and Grindelia!
