Celebrating 90 years: Deep Roots, Bold Future
As the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden celebrates its 90th anniversary, we’re especially grateful for our members. More than 50 years ago, when university funding for the Arboretum was eliminated, community supporters rallied around this special place. Their support helped sustain the Arboretum—a tradition of membership, volunteering and plant sales that continues today!
We continue to celebrate that legacy by hosting events for members only! At this sale, Friends members enjoy four hours of members-only shopping and 10% off plant sale purchases. Not a member? Join, shop early and save!
Fall is the best time to plant! Find tens of thousands of regionally appropriate plants, including low-water favorites, California natives and Arboretum All-Stars.
And while you’re celebrating with us, explore our 90th anniversary webpage to discover the people, plants and ideas that have shaped this place—and see what’s ahead.
Visit our Plant Sale webpage for more information.
By shopping these sales, you support the UC Davis Arboretum and Public Garden's environmental leadership programs, the growth of our gardens and collections and the wide variety of free, educational events we offer the public.

We also seek volunteers to help at this and other seasonal plant sales throughout the year. Interested in lending a helping hand? Sign up for one of our many volunteer opportunities in support of this community event!
