The UCR Botanic Gardens hosts plant sales throughout the year offering plants propagated from our own unique collection. We sell horticultural and native plants, cacti and succulents, patio and house plants, water-efficient plants, colorful landscape trees, and numerous pollinator-attracting species. Our plants are well suited for the climate of our inland Southern California region.

Seasonal sales are held at the best time to plant in southern California, while occasional pop-up sales are held in conjunction with special events or days. Friends members enjoy a 10% discount on plants at plant sales as well as many other benefits described under “Become a Member.” To join the Friends of the Botanic Gardens, visit myadv.ucr.edu/forms/UCRBG
