Next date: Saturday, June 20, 2026 | 11:00 AM to 04:00 PM

We're thrilled to invite you to our Culver City Garden Club's 73rd Annual Garden Show and Sale on June 20-21. Whether you're a seasoned plant pro, a curious tinkerer, a full-blown plant fanatic, or you simply get a kick out of nature’s quirky charms—this Admission-Free plant bash is shaping up to be a “plantastic” celebration that’s bound to put a smile on your face.

Our theme this year, Gardening the Next Generation, extolls the virtues of gardening to nurture the future.
