Plant Sales

The UC Davis Arboretum Nursery is bustling to get ready for two plant sales. The sales received some really great press so members of the Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum have their fingers crossed for an excellent spring fundraising season! Below is the rundown of the week’s upcoming sales events as well as the review of where the sales were featured.

The Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum hosted its final plant sale for the fall season on Sunday, October 9. The theme of this sale, Growing a Green Future, celebrated the UC Davis Arboretum’s 75 years of sustainable gardening by showcasing landscape plantings that save water, reduce pollution, support native pollinators and still manage to provide jaw-dropping beauty!  Attendees learned that by making smart planting choices means they really can have it all!

The October 9th Arboretum Plant Sale, with the theme “Growing a Green Future”, has been featured in the October issue of Sunset Magazine!

Last Saturday’s Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum Plant Faire & Sale attracted over 1,300 people–one of the best attended ever–with gross sales estimated to be well above $56,000; a remarkable feat considering fewer people are landscaping during this economic downturn.

The UC Davis Arboretum received great coverage about its 75th anniversary and upcoming plant sale in the Sac Bee last weekend!
