Regional Parks Botanic Garden Fall Plant Sale
Saturday, October 1, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. (Friends members only 9 a.m. – 10 a.m.)

Fall is the best time to plant many California natives. Choose from a huge selection of California native plants at the annual fall sale to benefit the Garden.

The list of plants for sale will be published approximately a week before the sale on the Friends website, www.nativeplants.org; expert advice on plant selection and cultivation will be available from garden staff, docents, and volunteers on the day of the sale. Along with familiar favorites, the RPBG sale offers unusual plants that are not available anywhere else.

For the best selection, arrive early. Join the Friends of the Regional Parks Botanic Garden—membership grants you admission to the sale at 9 a.m., an hour before everyone else. If you don’t have time to join the Friends beforehand, you can join at the sale starting at 8:30 a.m. on the day of the sale, October 1.

The Regional Parks Botanic Garden is located at the intersection of Wildcat Canyon Road and South Park Drive (closed October 31 – March 31 each year) within Tilden Regional Park in the hills above Berkeley, California.
