Plant Sale General Information
The CNPS Bristlecone Chapter holds native plant sales every year in the Bishop and Mammoth areas. The Bishop Plant Sale is usually held the weekend after the Millpond Festival in September at the White Mountain Research Station.
A wonderful array of native plants are offered every year. We’ve been busy coaxing from seed dozens of brittlebush, various buckwheats, penstemons, Mojave aster, lupine and many more favorites!! See our sortable database of species that have been available at our plant sales for ideas of what to expect. Plant prices range from $4.00 for a 22 oz cup to $5.00 for a small tree pot and $8.00 for gallon pots.
See our Planting Guide for tips on getting your native garden growing.
Also check the main CNPS site for information on growing native plants, including the benefits of native plant gardening, getting started, weed and pest management and more.
Proceeds from the annual native plant sales provide funding for our Mary DeDecker Botanical Grants. The grant program is a fitting way to remember Mary DeDecker’s many contributions to the people and plants of the Eastern Sierra.
