eAnyone need some Aloe zanzibarica?
On Saturday, April 14th from 9-5 at 1344 La Playa Street we’ll be having our super succulent garage sale! This past Saturday after a mini-breakdown (thanks extra hormones, for making this process even more difficult) we started pulling apart the garden to get ready for the succulent sale. It’s kind of crazy how many plants we have including that lovely Aloe zanzibarica above. We broke it apart in to chunks so more people can enjoy it. Most of our succulents will be in cutting form as it was just easier to chop them out of the garden. Besides plants, we’ll also have tons of containers, some books and other random junk we need to get rid of before heading back to Wisconsin. Parking is usually pretty easy in these parts, unless it’s a ridiculously nice beach day. Don’t have a car? We’re only a half a block away from the N-Judah turnaround. If you have boxes or old flat trays, bring them with as we have limited options for carrying stuff away. Cash only please. Here are a few more pics of what we ripped out so far:
Senecio vitalis by the bucketload
Graptoveria 'Fred Ives' & Oscularia deltoides
Graptopetalum & bargain basement plants
Matti & one of many mystery Aeoniums
This is only a wee taste of the mass quantities of plants we’ll have available. Hope to see you!

This post is making my stomach turn. I found your blog only at the beginning of this year when i started to learn about succulents. I’m now obsessed! Your photos and stories are so inspiring. I wish i could come to your plant sale, i would go broke buying everything. Best wishes and happy gardening!

Hot damn. I’ll be there.

Good god it’s like the nursery of my dreams right there in your backyard. Wish you did mail order.

Oh man. Why oh why must this be the day after we leave London on vacation? Whyyyyyy? (Yeah yeah I know, the saddest violin is playing for me. But still, we just moved into a new house and new exciting plants would be so great to have!)

I’m sad to see you losing your fabulous garden.
I’m in the same situation. Moving from the UK to Chicago. Everything must go since CITES, phytosanitary certs and shipping costs are prohibitive. Ebay will be seeing about 1500 listings from me as I clear my greenhouse and windowsills.
I’m already planning how to rebuild. I’m thinking of just picking a few species (Haws, Gasteria and Mesembs) and growing them from seed.
Good luck with your move.

Oh my! Moving to Wisconsin is quite a change! How sad to let go of an amazing collection but great for the lucky buyers! I hope you’ll continue to provide horticultural ideas and information from the Wilds of Wisconsin!

Hoping to make it there!

Congrats on the baby! Wisconsin’s a great state. I look forward to hearing more from you over yonder. Good luck with your move!

I’m so sad that you are moving. Also I wish I lived closer so I could have a little piece of your garden. Good luck with the sale and your move! I hope you sell lots of plants.

OH my. It is is hard to leave all of those pretties! I used to ship succulents to my mom when I lived there- so if you are up for shipping- do let me know
Many plants will do just fine in the mail. And good luck!

You’re moving? Wow, what a change that will be! But I bet it’s exciting to contemplate the new plants you’ll be able to grow. Sure wish I was close enough to attend your plant sale. I’m sorry to miss seeing your old garden here at Far Out Flora but am sure your eventual new one will be a pleasure to follow as well. Good luck!

It does look like a lot of plants. Good luck with the sale and the move and the baby.

I just discovered your blog a couple of months ago and have enjoyed reading about your adventures. Good luck with the move! I totally understand about moving out of the city in search of more space. We did the same after having our son two years ago.
I think I might stop by for the succulent sale. What do you think will be your price range for the plants?
April 7, 2012 at 3:17 pm
Most everything will be $3 for a 4″ pot filled with cuttings. We’ll have some gallons that will be $5. Pretty cheap

Wow Megan, sounds awesome! I am going to try to make it unless we have a birthday party that day! I am going to try to move it to Sunday!
Do you have some of your BIG ones for sale?

Moving back? Leaving that beauty behind? Oh dear! You guys have been inspiring to say the least. Good luck with the move, I am sure Molly and the rest of the midwest crew are delighted!
