Fall Plant Sale – Sept 30, 2023 10a-2p

UPDATE 9/22: Plant lists are now updated to those plants actually ordered.  There are over 100 plants!! The prior list was a wish list and, as expected, a number of those on the list were not available.  Most plants are 1 gallon and some are 4″.  There are no 5 gallon plants this year.

Our fall plant sale will be on Saturday Sept 30, 2023 at the Madrona Marsh Nature Center (3201 Plaza Del Amo, Torrance, CA 90503) from 10 AM until 2 PM, rain or shine.  This sale will be in-person, unlike recent years, and we will not be individually pre-ordering plants.   We will have plants from PVPLC and  Tree of Life Nursery.   Left over plants will be sold at a discount at the following Monday night meeting, which will also be held at the Madrona Marsh Nature Center at the usual time.  Tentative plans are that the general meeting is preceded by a marsh walk.

2023 plant sale
  • Changes this year:
    • We are returning to an in-person sale, similar to those prior to 2020
    • We will have seeds of select garden annuals to give away with a minimum plant purchase
    • We will have seeds of common garden annuals available for sale
    • Bring seeds from your garden to donate, trade, or give away – there will be a dedicated table for this activity
    • Brief native plant tutorials
    • We will issue a POAP  (say “poe-app) (1) (2) to commemorate the plant sale.
      • POAP is an acronym for “Proof of Attendance Protocol,” a type of unique digital collectible that takes the form of a cool graphic badge.
      • They can be fun to collect, but they are not regarded as valuable collectible items, any more than concert tickets (after the concert) are regarded as collectible.  POAPs are free until we run out – see one of our staff members for your unique claiming URL.
      • See the POAP we will issue HERE
  • How can I find out more about native plants for my garden before I get to the sale?
    • Review the planting guide HERE (https://chapters.cnps.org/southcoast/2022/10/10/planting-guide/)
    • If you want to check into plants that would be viable in your garden before the sale, Calscape (for plants) and Bloom California (for philosophy and design) are great starting points.
    • Don’t forget to check Tree of Life Nursery‘s web site and the PVPLC web site as well – they are chock full of information.
  • How can I find out more about native plants at the sale?
    • Don’t forget that the Madrona Marsh Nature Center is surrounded by a beautiful demonstration garden
    • Also don’t forget that the Madrona Marsh itself is open to the public and may provide inspiration.
  • Can I volunteer?
    • Yes!  Please contact us by email and we will work around your availability and skills.  We need all skills, age, and capabilities.  We particularly need people on Friday the 29th to set up the sale as well as on the 30th, the day of the sale. “SouthCoastCNPS at gmail com” is a good contact point.
  • I’d really like to have assurance that I can get a (medium to large) quantity of Ceanothus “Yankee Point” (or any other plant).  How can I do this?
    • Please contact us with an email.  We will try to order and set aside specific large quantities of the same plant so that you can get your order and other attendees will still have good availability.

See below for a list of plants ordered this year (alphabetical by scientific name and by common name in separate lists).  If you are searching in vain, try ctrl-F to search this page.

  1. Does this mean there won’t be a published plant list? I appreciated from last year being able to research the plants ahead of time.

    1. While we may have a plant list from PVPLC (last year’s list is a good start), we may only have a “best guess” list from Tree of Life. The reason I think this will be the case is that ToL grows and sells much more widely and their inventory may be subject to more up and down swings. If you have a special request in quantity, then I encourage you to email or call us.

  2. Please sign me up to volunteer Friday morning 29 Sep to set up for the Plant Sale. Is 9AM still the kickoff time? I can be available thru noonish. The direct email link posted on the website is not working.

    1. I sent your kind offer out to the Board, who are organizing the volunteers. Thank you so much for pitching in! They’ll be in touch about the time – I suspect that 10AM is a more likely start time, but I plan to be there at 9 just in case.

    2. Hey Philip – I went looking for a broken email link on the web site, but I soon discovered that there actually wasn’t a clear path to send an email. Was that your experience too or did you find a link somewhere that bounced? I’m just asking because I want to fix the issue.

      1. Thanks for checking. There wasn’t a clear pathway. There should be a plainly visible “email us” button to click to get right onto the link.
