Speaker 1 00:02 Exotic? Yes. Outrageous? Yes. Speaker 1 00:06 Expensive? No. Speaker 1 00:08 We'll take you to the Bay Area's hottest place for plants. Speaker 1 00:12 Big crowds. Speaker 2 00:13 Coming up on NewsCenter 4. Don't go away. Speaker 2 00:16 I'm going to celebrate an opportunity to buy some terrific boys. Speaker 2 00:19 You're going to hear about that. Speaker 2 00:20 Find some bargains, help a worthy cause, and somewhere in there, um... Speaker 3 00:25 Oh, no, he's hiding behind ferns again. Speaker 2 00:27 He's at Streaming Arboretum. Speaker 3 00:28 Henry Tannenbaum joins us from Striving. Speaker 1 00:31 Yeah, I'm looking for bargains, and I've already found a beauty, this rhododendron. Speaker 1 00:34 Hi, there are some 45,000 plants, about 4,000 different species here at Striving Arboretum for their annual sale. Speaker 1 00:43 Excuse me, ma'am. Speaker 1 00:43 Oh, my rhododendron. Speaker 1 00:45 Sorry. Speaker 3 00:45 My fern. Speaker 1 00:46 Oh, I'm sorry. Speaker 1 00:47 It's a lovely fern. Speaker 1 00:50 Striving Arboretum every year puts lots of plants on sale. Speaker 1 00:53 Some of them are donated by nurseries, and others are raised by the volunteers here at Striving. Speaker 1 00:57 And take a look at some of these gorgeous, some nice iris over here, and some fairly exotic items. Speaker 1 01:02 Now, tonight is the member sale, but tomorrow, from 10 till 4, they are open to the general public. Speaker 1 01:08 Good prices and lots of expertise on hand. Speaker 1 01:11 I'll give you more details after we tell you about other things happening around the Bay Area this weekend. Speaker 1 01:16 Here at Striving Arboretum, where they're holding their big plant sale, Speaker 1 01:18 one of the stars of the show is this begonia. Speaker 1 01:21 This is on the silent auction. Speaker 1 01:22 It's already bid for like 40 bucks, and it's going to go for more. Speaker 1 01:25 Anyway, as I say, it happens 10 to 4. Speaker 1 01:27 Great bargains. Speaker 4 01:28 This table they put aside for us. Speaker 4 01:30 People have been waiting here for 10 minutes Speaker 4 01:31 trying to grab some of these plants. Speaker 4 01:32 Okay, guys, you can go ahead and grab them. Speaker 4 01:36 Have a great weekend. Speaker 4 02:05 Amen.
