Shop Plants
We are still selling plants outside of Phoebes Café on a rotating basis, while supplies last! Currently we are offering: Nacapule Jasmine, Narrow-leaf Milkweed, Feather Tree, Tufted Evening Primrose and our famous Chiltepins! Now is the perfect time to plant in your garden with the cooler temperatures. Plants are available for purchase outside our Mountain House Gift Shop!
