Celebrate the seasonal opening of Grow Native Nursery, the California
native plant retail nursery of California Botanic Garden, at the Fall Plant Sale on October 10th and 11th. The fall plant sale comes at the perfect time of year for garden planning and planting in Southern California and offers the most comprehensive selection of native plants that you’ll find all year. Grow Native Nursery features an expert staff and thousands of unusual and hard-to-find native plants, many grown in our own facilities. You’re sure to find the perfect fit for your waterwise garden or landscape, whether you’re starting from scratch by removing your ornamental lawn or supplementing an existing drought-tolerant planting area. Native plant experts will be available at the Sale to offer recommendations based on size, bloom color, attractiveness to wildlife, water needs, and much more. Preliminary inventory will be posted on the Grow Native Nursery website by October 5, 2026, but will be subject to updates through October 9, 2026. On Saturday, October 10th, shoppers can also purchase hand decorated grapevine wreaths and other items made by CalBG’s Native Designs volunteer floral arranging collective as well as home-made baked goods (all wreath and baked goods sales benefit CalBG’s volunteer organization). On October 10th the Sale will be open to the general public from 10 AM to 4 PM. The Sale is open to all from 9 AM to 4 PM on Sunday, October 11th.
