Plant Sale: June 6, 10am – 1pm

California native plants for your garden — many as low as $5 (annuals), $7 (4″ pots), or $10-12 (1 gallon size). Featuring:

  • California Fuchsia – beloved by hummingbirds, blooms summer through fall. (4″, $7)
  • Fiesta Marigold and Gold Jelly Bean Monkeyflowers – colorful and floriferous! (1 gallon, $14/$15)

Our California native plants include annuals, perennials, shrubs, grasses and ferns for sun or shade. Other ornamental plants include speckled spur flower (a hummingbird favorite), succulents, and cacti.

We are an all-volunteer, non-profit garden club celebrating our 88th year! Our plant sales help us maintain the historic Casa de Flores (built in 1929 as the original Saint Charles Church) and fulfill our club goals of “stimulating the knowledge and love of gardening” and “aiding in the protection of native trees, plants and birds.”

Location: Casa de Flores at 737 Walnut Street in San Carlos.
