It’s time to embrace a little imperfection – while enjoying some big discounts.
This long Presidents Day weekend (Feb. 15-17), The Secret Garden in Elk Grove will host its annual Parking Lot Sale with discounts of 30 to 70%.
“Whether you’re a seasoned garden enthusiast or a first-time visitor, this event is the perfect opportunity to score unbeatable deals on unique garden treasures,” say the organizers.
“We’ll be rounding up our beautiful but slightly imperfect ceramic pottery, fountains, statuary, and garden art to offer exclusive discounts ranging from 30% to 70% off. These pieces might have a small chip, a little ding, or a minor imperfection, but they’re still bursting with character and charm – and now they can be yours at a fraction of the price.
"Plus, we’re discounting a good number of fountains this year! All of our underground reservoir fountains will be on sale as we make some changes to our fountain area.”
It’s not just pottery and fountains that will be discounted. Find plenty of plants, too, at bargain prices.
“We’re also giving some of our clearance plants that need a little TLC a second chance at life, and you can take them home at discounted prices,” say the organizers. “These plants may be a little weathered, but with a little love, they’ll bloom beautifully once again.”
The Secret Garden will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. all three days. Get there early for the best selection.
“This event has become an annual tradition with a cult following of regulars who eagerly anticipate the discounts and rare finds,” say the hosts. “It’s the perfect opportunity to score garden accents, plants, and pottery that you won’t find anywhere else. ... Prepare to fall in love with some garden gems at unbelievable prices.”
Admission and parking are free. Well-known for its succulent selections and colorful pottery, The Secret Garden is located at 8650 W. Stockton Blvd., Elk Grove.

Garden Checklist for week of May 11
Make the most of the lower temperatures early in the week. We’ll be back in the 80s by Thursday.
* Plant, plant, plant! It’s prime planting season in the Sacramento area. Time to set out those tomato transplants along with peppers and eggplants. Pinch off any flowers on new transplants to make them concentrate on establishing roots instead of setting premature fruit.
* Direct-seed melons, cucumbers, summer squash, corn, radishes, pumpkins and annual herbs such as basil.
* Harvest cabbage, lettuce, peas and green onions.
* In the flower garden, direct-seed sunflowers, cosmos, salvia, zinnias, marigolds, celosia and asters. (You also can transplant seedlings for many of the same flowers.)
* Plant dahlia tubers.
* Transplant petunias, marigolds and perennial flowers such as astilbe, columbine, coneflowers, coreopsis, dahlias, rudbeckia and verbena.
* Keep an eye out for slugs, snails, earwigs and aphids that want to dine on tender new growth.
* Feed summer bloomers with a balanced fertilizer.
* For continued bloom, cut off spent flowers on roses as well as other flowering plants.
* Add mulch to the garden to maintain moisture. Mulch also cuts down on weeds. But don’t let it mound around the stems or trunks of trees or shrubs. Leave about a 6-inch-to-1-foot circle to avoid crown rot or other problems.
* Remember to weed! Pull those nasties before they set seed.
* Water early in the day and keep seedlings evenly moist.
