Pop-Up Plant Sale
Join us for a late spring one-stop plant shopping opportunity!
Our dedicated Garden Team has curated a unique selection of plants suitable to our Mediterranean climate including natives and drought tolerant plants, plants propagated on our grounds and a selection of amazing pelargoniums from Geraniaceae. The Shop will be open and stocked with all the books and tools any green thumb could want, in addition to our usual selection of unique artisan items, with an emphasis on sustainable materials and minority-owned business.
Plant Sale Highlights:
• A volunteer Dawn Redwood, a rare growth from our very own Dawn Redwood planted in 1954 by one our Founders, Caroline Livermore, and Ward Montague. The genus was presumed extinct until they were rediscovered in 1941 in central China, with seeds then sent throughout the world. Be a part of fostering the next generation of ancient redwoods!
• Yucca Linearfolia, a rare and beautiful yucca from Nuevo Leon, Mexico into Texas. The plant is evergreen with a striking white bloom.
• Dutchman’s Pipevine, also known as California Pipevine, which provides food and shelter to the Swallowtail butterfly, in addition to striking large, heart-shaped flowers. The vine contains toxins in its leaves that build up in the caterpillars so that they and the mature butterflies are themselves toxic, protecting them from predators.
• Fuchsia Thymifolia, an evergreen shrub that grows commonly in Mexico and Guatemala. Resistant to fuschia mite, it’s well adapted to our local climate and blooms spring through fall.
• Fatsia Japonica “Spiders Web” is a rare evergreen with unique white splashing and dotting on broad, palmate leaves. Small and delicate white flowers appear in autumn, and the plant is generally disease and pest resistant.
