Get ready to garden! Our Spring 2024 Native Plant Sale is slated for April 12 & 13, with a setup and members-only pre-sale held the day before, on April 11, at the Shasta Community College Farm greenhouses. (Shasta College’s Horticultural Department plant sale will run concurrently.)
Setup:
Thursday, April 11, 2 to 4 PM
Members-Only Pre-Sale:
Thursday, April 11, 4 to 6 PM
Public Sale:
Friday, April 12, 9 AM to 4 PM
Saturday, April 13, 9 AM to 4 PM
Please join us in setting up our annual plant sale—we would appreciate your help! Bring your CNPS membership card or the latest copy of your Flora magazine, which should have your member info printed on it, for entry to the members-only pre-sale. Memberships will be available for purchase for $50.
Encourage your friends to attend our public sale! We will have hundreds of native plants of some 50 species available for sale. As you may know, native plant gardens help support wildlife and generally require less water than ornamental plants.
Thank you for growing native plants! Your purchases support the CNPS mission of pursuing botanical knowledge and raising public awareness about California native plants. Shasta Chapter CNPS supports local and statewide groups that share our commitment to native plants. We advocate locally for rare native plants and native plant habitat. The Chapter’s Propagation Team uses best nursery management practices to grow the wonderful nursery stock that we are able to offer to you at this sale. Shasta Chapter awards scholarships and grants to budding botanical scholars and researchers to help them pursue their educations and careers. We help local schools, businesses, and community organizations plan and plant native gardens. Volunteers demonstrate landscape uses of native plants in the Matson-Mowder-Howe Celebration Garden, which the Chapter helps steward.
Many thanks for supporting our mission. Questions? Please contact us at shastacnps@gmail.com. ~Susan Libonati-Barnes, Plant Propagation Coordinator
