- Did you know our plant sales are fundraisers?
Our community members support group — the Friends of the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden — holds plant sale fundraisers offering an incredible selection of attractive, low-water, easy-care plants perfect for our region. These sales, hosted at the Arboretum Teaching Nursery, are large-scale, festival-style events held several times a year. Watch for the latest information here and in our digital e-newsletter, The Leaflet.
Most of the plants we offer at these sales are grown on site, including the Arboretum All-Stars — our top recommended plants for Central Valley gardens. Our nursery staff, in addition to dozens of students and volunteers, propagate and grow the majority of the plants we sell which make them uniquely suited for continuing to thrive in our local climate.
By shopping these sales, you support the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden's environmental leadership programs, the growth of our gardens and collections and the wide variety of free, educational events we offer the public.
