The 2024 Bay Area Designer Plant Fair

This year's event will take place at the scenic, centrally located Lakeside Garden Center in Oakland, with a strategically planned mid-day schedule to help you avoid heavy traffic.

We're thrilled to welcome back several of our long-standing nursery partners who have been with us for years, alongside exciting new participants like the beloved Annie’s Annuals. These esteemed nurseries bring their extensive expertise and a fantastic selection of plants, making their participation a standout feature of the event.

The Plant Fair is ideal for industry plant enthusiasts of all kinds, including landscape designers from Northern California, Bay Area contractors, design students, and horticulture educators. Whether you're eager to discover new and unusual plants or expand your professional network, this fair has something for everyone.

Arrive promptly at 11 AM to experience a packed agenda featuring a welcome message from APLD, vendor displays, informative presentations, and a plant raffle.

Enjoy a light lunch of sandwhiches and chips—perfect for keeping you energized throughout the event. Water will be provided. Please bring a reusable water bottle to help reduce waste.

Note that there is a fee for parking in this area so we encourage carpooling if you are able! Don’t forget to explore the beautiful gardens at Lake Merritt, just a short walk from the venue!
