The UCD Botanical Conservatory plant sale returns for Fall 2026! We have been hard at work propagating old favorites and new offerings. Many species including aroids, begonias, carnivores, mounted epiphytes, orchids, and succulents (including Welwitschia mirabilis) will be available. Grown from the Conservatory’s vast collection, these affordable plants support both conservation and education. The vast majority of our funding comes from these plant sales and your generous donations. Find your new favorite plant and support our unique living museum!
The sale will take place rain or shine on UCD campus in parking lot 27, North of the Conservatory. Credit cards (excepting American Express), checks, cash, and Apple Pay will be accepted. We cannot accept debit, Venmo, or other electronic forms of payment. Campus parking is free on the weekend. Please be prepared for long lines. We will do our best to process everyone's purchases quickly and we appreciate your patience. If possible, bring your own box to carry plants. We are not able to reserve or ship plants.
