UC Davis Arboretum nursery hosts clearance sale

It’s one of my favorite words: “Sale!” Even better: “Clearance sale!” And for the trifecta: “Clearance plant sale!”

How can I resist? Or you, too!

Saturday, Nov. 5, the UC Davis Arboretum Teaching Nursery hosts its annual Fall Clearance Plant Sale. Open to the public, this huge sale features hundreds of varieties of water-wise and native plants – perfect for Sacramento-area gardens. During its last public sale of 2022, the one-acre nursery wants to send as many plants as possible to new homes – and make room for 2023’s inventory.

Now is the best time to transplant many of these perennials, shrubs, trees, succulents, vines, grasses and bulbs. The Arboretum Teaching Nursery specializes in climate-appropriate, water-wise plants that are proven to thrive in our area. Not only do they use less water, these easy-care plants are very attractive and support wildlife.

Customers will receive 20% off all plants. Members of the Friends of the Arboretum receive an extra 10% discount (30% total). Not a member? Join at the door and get a free gift.

Hours are 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. An inventory list will be available on the arboretum’s plant sales page.

The Arboretum Teaching Nursery is located on campus on Garrod Drive near the small-animal veterinarian hospital.
