Arboretum Hosts Annual Plan and Garden Show

Gardeners looking for just the right plant, gardening advice or the latest in gardening products need look no further than the April 14-15 Green Scene Plant and Garden Show at the Fullerton Arboretum. Nearly 100 exhibitors are expected to be there offering a wide variety of plants, garden art and accessories focused exclusively on the home gardener.

In addition to exhibitions, master gardeners, horticulturists and other experts will be on hand to give “mini classes” on a variety of topics ranging from use of California native and drought-tolerant plants to how to improve a Southern California lawn or how to prepare and maintain a tasty “kitchen garden.” Fullerton Ace Hardware hosts a “We CAN Garden” program showcasing can gardens created by local organizations and a Victorian “Porch and Attic Sale” will be held at Heritage House.

Green Scene is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. A special “Members Only” preview sale is scheduled from 9-10 a.m. April 14 with memberships available at the door. Tickets are $6 per adult and free to Friends of the Fullerton Arboretum members and children under 12. Advance tickets are available through the Fullerton Arboretum office, online through the Arboretum website, and at the Potting Shed on weekends.
