The Tilden Plant Sale
Trillium ovatum
I don’t post about many garden events, but one of my favorites is coming up on Saturday, the native plant sale at Tilden. It’s their biggest event of the year with many great plants for sale, some of them quite hard to find. The rush to the Trilliums is the single most frenzied horticultural moment I know of. (Speaking of which, I don’t know if it has been my luck or some kind of bumper year for Trilliums, but I have seen more of them this spring than ever before. I’m curious if that has been anyone else’s experience as well.) The sale starts at 10AM, with people starting to line up about an hour beforehand.
Ready for Tomorrow

Well, why they had to have Easter in April this year I don’t know. Means that all the plant sales are on Saturday the 16th (Santa Cruz, Tilden, Los Altos). I guess I’ll stay close to home…
