UC Davis Arboretum hosts Spring Clearance Sale

These plants are priced to move! Transform your landscape or pick up a few choice finds at the UC Davis Arboretum’s Spring Clearance Sale.

On Saturday, May 10, the Arboretum’s Teaching Nursery is hosting its final plant sale of the season, capping 50 years of spring sales.

They haven’t run out of plants (even the popular Arboretum All-Stars). The nursery still has more than 13,000 beautiful water-wise plants that need new homes.

Still looking for a specific variety? Many new plant varieties have been added since the nursery’s March sales.

From 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., everything is on sale. This event is open to the public the whole four hours; admission is free.

All plants are marked down significantly. Friends of the Arboretum get an additional 10% off. Not a member? Join at the gate and get the discount plus a $10 coupon as a free gift.

The 1-acre nursery specializes in water-wise flowering perennials, ground covers and shrubs. Also find an excellent selection of succulents and scores of California natives.

The nursery asks shoppers to bring their own boxes, if possible, to take home their new plants. If you have your own wagon or cart, that’s helpful to bring, too  — you won’t have to wait to use one of the nursery’s wagons.

The Arboretum Teaching Nursery is located on Garrod Drive opposite the Veterinary Medicine complex and small animal hospital on the UC Davis campus.

Need any more inspiration? Besides hosting the plant sale, the nursery is home to beautiful demonstration gardens showcasing the Arboretum All-Stars and other water-wise collections.
