Why Plant Native in Fall? Warm soil and cooler temps mean stress-free root growth, less watering once plants are in the ground, and a head start on spring. Learn more in our fall planting blog post!
Day-Of Tips The sale runs 10am–1pm or until plants sell out — come early for the best selection. No early entry before 10am. Enter the parking lot via the Lilac Drive N entrance; signs and volunteers will guide you. Stop by the Blue Thumb Welcome Tent for planting resources and Q&A. Bring a wagon or cardboard boxes for carrying plants. Gondolier Coffee and Taste of Chile will be on site. A volunteer may ask you to complete a quick survey on your way out — exit via Lowry Terrace.
