The 2023 fall plant sale, put together by the horticulture department at Fullerton College, was held from Nov. 4 to Nov. 5. Guest Speaker Carlos Ruiz gave a short lecture about how to grow native plants in dry climates, touching on topics from watering patterns to lighting situations for indoor and outdoor plants. The sale featured drought-tolerant California native plants local to the college and surrounding neighborhood.
“A lot of the plants we have here are cuttings from around the school and the neighborhood that we propagate and grow into new plants,” said Ashley Signorelli, a student intern in the horticulture department.

Profits from the plant sales go towards funding the horticulture department, getting new plant specimens brought in, and field trips for students in the department.
