Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and for the 38th year in a row, the Cabrillo College horticulture department is having it’s annual Mother’s Day Plant Sale. Each year, they sell a huge selection of plants, flowers, culinary and medicinal herbs, succulents, vines, vegetable starts – you name it, they got it! This year they have over 1,000 varieties to choose from.
All of the plants being sold were grown by Cabrillo students, with proceeds from the sale going to fund the Environmental Horticulture Facility for the upcoming school year.
The “presale” begins on Friday, May 9 from 3 to 7 PM, and you must donate $25 to get in on the presale. On Saturday May 10, hours are from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
While you’re there, check out their state-of-the-art facilities including the greenhouse complex, shadehouses, lab classroom, horticulture learning center, and community room. Agriculture plays a significant part in the Aptos economy, and it’s interesting to see how the future of agriculture is being shaped in our community.
More than 80 vendors comprise the Aptos Farmer’s Market, held very Saturday from 8 AM to 12 noon at Cabrillo College. The Aptos Farmers Market has been voted “America’s Favorite Farmers Market in California” in 2011 and 2012. The Aptos Farmer’s Market was named one of “The Coast’s Best Farmers Markets” by Coastal Living Magazine.
The market is held rain or shine, and it’s a great way to come out and meet your neighbors. Each weekend they have live music, either the Farmers Market String Band (bluegrass), or The Great Morgani on the accordion.
Tip: bring cash! Most vendors don’t accept credit cards or checks, and there is no ATM machine close by.
