UC Santa Cruz Farm & Garden Spring Plant Sale

The UCSC Farm & Garden Spring Plant Sale will feature a variety of organic annual vegetable, fruit, flower, and herb seedlings grown at the UCSC Farm. This year's plant sale will take place at the Cowell Ranch Hay Barn (not the Barn Theater as in past years) on Satuday, May 1 from 9am to 4pm (the hours of 9am to noon are reserved for Friends of the UCSC Farm & Garden members) and Sunday, May 2 from 9am to 3pm.

In order to facilitate a safe, socially distanced event we will be limiting the amount of people in the Hay Barn at a time, so please come prepared to shop and expect that you may be asked to wait to enter the building until other patrons have finished their shopping. Folks who plan to shop on Saturday between 9am and noon should fill out this form to book a shopping "appointment." The goal is that this appointment system will reduce wait times during the busiest hours of our sale. 

Plant Sale attendees must wear face coverings and keep a safe (six foot) distance from others while shopping. Plan to park in the Carriage House/Campus Facilities parking lot (lots 115 and 116), across the street from the Hay Barn, as the Hay Barn parking lot will not be available except to those with accessibility needs. Find directions to the Hay Barn and lot 116 here.

Plants for sale will include tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, cucumbers, greens, lettuces, squash, herbs, flowers, and more! Download a list of varieties we will have at the plant sale.

Please bring cash or a check, as we will not be able to accept credit card payments (we're working on it...hopefully next year!) 

Members of the Friends of the UCSC Farm & Garden gain early admittance to the plant sale and enjoy 10% off the price of all plants. Find out more about the Friends and how to join.
