Plant-O-Rama Plant Sale Returns to Sherman Library & Gardens!
06.24.24
The Plant-O-Rama plant sale is making a comeback at Sherman Gardens on Saturday and Sunday, July 20 & 21. This retro event, first introduced in 1972, will feature a diverse array of plants and plant experts from various participating plant societies, including the California Native Plant Society, Los Angeles International Fern Society, Newport Harbor Orchid Society, Orange County Begonia Society, Saddleback Valley Bromeliad Society, and Southern California Carnivorous Plant Enthusiasts.
Originally started by former Gardens Director Wade Roberts as a fundraiser for the Sherman Foundation, Plant-O-Rama has a rich history. Back in 1972, former Horticulture Manager John Bishop managed the nursery at the Sherman Foundation Experimental Center in Dana Point. Bishop recalled, “People always asked if plants from the garden were for sale. It seemed like the right thing to do, and the facility was available to grow the plants. It was a very popular event, with people arriving early and waiting in the parking lot until the gardens opened.”
Plant-O-Rama has always been known for showcasing local plant societies and offering a unique variety of houseplants, tropicals, hanging baskets, and succulents. In 2024, the plant craze remains strong, prompting collaboration with local plant societies to provide visitors with an exceptional selection of unique plants. Executive Director of Sherman Library & Gardens, Scott LaFleur, suggests, “Take a hint from the patrons of the original Plant-O-Rama and come early for the best selection.”
This special event supports Sherman Library & Gardens and local plant societies and is FREE with garden admission, which is only $5 and always free for members.
Saturday & Sunday, July 20 & 21, 10:30 am – 4 pm each day
