7 Oaks Nursery Sale (for Kinda Green Thumbs)

Filed under: House + Garden, Shop — StyleGuide @ 6:29 am

When we bought our first house a few years ago, this is the front yard we got.  It was our first attempt at gardening, so I looked to Martha Stewart for guidance.  Her books told me to propagate my own plants or risk going broke at the nursery. 

Propagate?  Are you kidding me?

That’s what 7 Oaks’ half-off plant sale is for.  I don’t often go to the 951, but when the sprawling nursery off the 15 in Corona takes 50 percent off every plant they have — from trees in 36 inch boxes to the smallest annual — I make the long drive.

Sales are held twice yearly, over the Columbus Day and Fourth of July weekends, so one’s coming up the first weekend in October.  If you decide to check it out, here are a few tips.  First, the sale has become quite popular, so shop early for the best selection.  Second, take advantage of the neat little sandwich shop hiding behind the 7 Oaks convenience store. 

Load your truck, then fuel up on fresh sandwiches for the drive home.

When:  Friday, October 5 to Monday, October 8, 2007

Where:  21501 Temescal Canyon Road, Corona, Ca 92883

Call:  951-277-2927

What’s your best gardening tip?
