Plant Sales and Workshops
Spring Native Plant Sale Coming Soon!
Warm days and winter rains mean growing season is upon us. It’s a perfect time of year to work in your garden. Need pollinator plants? Food for birds? Shrubbery to hide a fence? Deer-resistant shrubs? We’ll have it—and more! We’ve been working hard to collate a terrific selection of plants for the spring sale, with choices for all kinds of microclimates and sun exposures.
See some of the plants we will offer that thrive in bright shade.
The Plant Sale will be held in two ways–
Online Orders
Online sales open: Thursday April 9th at 6pm
Online sales close: Monday April 13th at 6pm
Pickup for prepaid on-line orders: Saturday April 18th from 10:30am to 1:30pm at Bon Air Shopping Center, on Sir Francis Drake Blvd just off 101 in Greenbrae.
It won’t go live until 6pm on April 9th so don’t be surprised if there are no plants listed before then.
We will have a wide range of flowering shrubs, perennials and annuals—old favorites and some new choices as well. All of these species offer great options for increasing the biodiversity in your yard.
In-Person Plant Sale
We will also be holding an in-person plant sale on Saturday April 18th at the same time and location in the Bon Air Center parking lot. We’ll be offering the species that didn’t sell out through the online sale so it will not be a comprehensive selection. If you really want to be assured of getting something specific, please order early through the online site. If you didn’t get a chance to order online or you would like to see the plants in person, come browse. We will be accepting cash, checks and Visa credit cards.

Native plants in the wild naturally sort themselves by microclimate. Wherever the ground is shady and wet, you’ll see plants that prefer those conditions; if it is hot and dry, grasses or drought-tolerant shrubs will predominate. Sandy soil is ideal only for those...
Native Options for Small Trees and Shrubs
By Laura Lovett, CNPS Marin Plant Sale Committee What we plant in our landscapes determines what can live in our landscapes. When we imagine a pollinator garden, we usually think of flowering perennials, but it turns out that our trees and shrubs support a much vaster...
Gardening on the West Coast
By Laura Lovett, CNPS Marin Plant Sale Committee As all of you who live in our cooler coastal climate know, it can be frustrating to go native plant shopping. Plants that require full sun and heat just limp along in the damper weather. However, many species have...
