After purchasing plants online, scheduled pickup is available at the nursery. Plant orders can also be delivered between Belmont and San Jose. Please see the online store for details.
You do not have to be a member to buy plants from our online store. We will do everything we can to fill your orders quickly and get your plants to you, but we are all volunteers. We are adding new stock on a regular basis, so if you don't see what you want, please keep checking the store. We do not have an online inventory outside the store -- what you see in the store is what's available.
All proceeds from the nursery go toward supporting our Chapter's activities. Thanks so much for your support!
