I’ve been working on 2015 plants sales and plant show dates under the heading Dates to Remember<\/a><\/strong>, top of the page.
\nPlease feel free to send along info on anything I’ve missed or something worthy that must not go unmentioned.
\nAnd in the spirit of anticipating 2015 road trips, I’m reprising a 2013 visit to the Desert Botanical Garden, which is having their spring sale March 20-22, 2015.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s pushing the concept of a day trip to its limit when it takes five hours each way, there and back, but the DBG<\/a> was having their spring plant sale and, dammit, I needed to go. So the math worked out neatly in multiples of five, including five hours spent at the garden, making it a 15-hour day trip. More math: Phoenix’s average rainfall is about 8 inches a year, while Los Angeles nearly doubles that at 15 or 16 inches, though current LA rainfall totals are below average. Phoenix like Los Angeles was in the middle of a warm spell this past week, and temperatures in the garden were over 90. For whatever reason, the plant sale, the weather, the early spring season, it was a mob scene, and lots of appreciatively awestruck comments were overheard like, “Can you believe this place?!” <\/p>\n

Believe it. <\/p>\n

\nSo what five plants did I bring home? There the math broke down, and we traveled light. Most of the smaller plants had been bought, and I can’t in all conscience rip up the headliner in yet another car. Mark your calendars and do the math for a day trip\/road trip to Phoenix’s DBG for their next plant sale<\/a> in October. Oh, and you might want to borrow a friend’s truck.<\/p>\n
