February is the final month to get a free four-inch White Sage plant from The California Native Plant Society Orange County Chapter’s (OCCNPS) A Sage in Every Garden (SIEG) giveaway.

Volunteers from OCCNPS have been bringing White Sage (Salvia apiana) to events across Orange County since last November and have almost completed their goal of giving away 2,000 four-inch White Sage plants to OC homeowners.

If you haven’t had a chance to attend a SIEG event, now is the time. OCCNPS has five upcoming events in North and South Orange County.
