It’s springtime indoors, too, as African violets show off their April flowers.
See scores of plants in full bloom during the annual Capital City African Violet Society show and sale this weekend, April 6 and 7, at Shepard Garden and Arts Center, 3330 McKinley Blvd., Sacramento.
Beautiful African violets will be displayed in the judged show, exhibiting unusual varieties at their best.
Crowds come early for the plant sale, featuring hundreds of young plants in African violet varieties unavailable at area nurseries. It’s a great way to put together an indoor flower garden in one stop.
