FloraFEST: Native Plant Sale

FloraFEST: Native Plant Sale

Join us Saturday, April 1st, for the spring FloraFest native plant sale!  Lots of plants will be flowering or getting ready to flower, and we will have lots of great selections for you to choose from.  The sale is earlier than usual to try to allow you to get your new plants in the ground before the heat of summer arrives.

The preliminary plant list for spring 2023 is now available! See the list of plants that we plan to sell and learn about how to care for them HERE.

For information about the sale location, shopping details including that payments are only with credit or debit card, and volunteer opportunities, click HERE.

Native plants are beautiful, and they help conserve water, require less maintenance, and are more cold-hardy than plants from other parts of the world. Native plants also provide food and habitat for birds, bees, and butterflies. Using native plants in your yard is one step that we can take to help restore a healthy ecosystem in El Paso.

FloraFEST is the primary fundraiser for the maintenance and operation of the Chihuahuan Desert Gardens. Shoppers can visit with local Master Gardeners, horticulturists, and other plant experts for advice on how to care for their plants at home. We sell mostly native and native-adapted (plants that are not native to our region but will grow well here) plants, many of which are not available at local nurseries or retailers.
