"The Best Little Native Plant Sale in San Diego County"
Saturday, November 3rd - 8:30am-11:30am
Joan MacQueen Middle School, 2001 Tavern Road in Alpine
Join Alpine's native plant expert, Don Hohimer, and the Back Country Land Trust, for our annual Native Plant sale!
Dozens of varieties of native plants will be available for purchase, and ALL proceeds go to support BCLT properties and programs.
Don's "Plant Talk" starts at 8:30am. Plant sales start at 9am.
New this year....
BCLT "Firewood Fundraiser" - cut eucalyptus wood from Wright's Field will be available by the truckload and bundle!
Help us clear non-native trees and get a great deal on firewood for your home or camping trips...
Why plant native? Native plants not only save on precious water, but provide diversity and habitat for hummingbirds, butterflies, and beneficial insects.
We look forward to seeing old friends and new 'water-wise' converts at our annual Native Plant Sale and "Plant Talk" with Don Hohimer!
