About the Event

Add to the beauty of your yard with California native plants or succulents. Find the best plant for your space. 

Master Gardeners will also answer questions about these plants for you.

Native Plants: Learn more about beautiful California native plants for your yard. This is an opportunity to ask questions about California Native plants for your yard and purchase plants. You can lower your water bill by planting native California plants. They also attract pollinators such as butterflies.

Succulents: The perfect time to pick up your summer succulents to beautify your yard, patio, or home. Plants start at only $5.

Garlic and Shallots: Ready to plant sets. Instructions included. So much fun to grow your own!

Please note:

  • Participants should wear closed-toed shoes, layered clothing, and a hat, as the class is held outdoors.
  • Please arrive 15 minutes early to allow time to park and sign in.
  • The park charges $6.00 for parking; or park closer to our area on Chynoweth Avenue near Vauxhall Circle for free (parcel location in Google Maps).

Operated in partnership with the Santa Clara County Parks and Recreation Department.
