Back by popular demand, TOMATOMANIA!, the world's largest tomato seedling sale, returns to Descanso Gardens on Saturday and Sunday, April 6-7.
Dubbed "the tomato freaks' Woodstock," Tomatomania! will include a plant sale featuring hundreds of healthy seedlings, including heirloom varieties, old favorites and many unusual offerings. The plant sale is from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days on the Magnolia Lawn.

Tomatomania! started as a West Coast phenomenon in the 1990s. Over time, it has become a coast-to-coast springtime stop for home gardeners. This is its third year at Descanso Gardens.
