In 1979 our nursery began operating and so it is only fitting that our founder, Marcia Constance, painted the artful rendering of Aloe 'Eric the Red' that graces this catalog's cover. As in those early days, San Marcos Growers remains committed to growing plants appropriate to California's mediterranean climate. Now in the second year of a serious drought, the plants that we continue to grow that require little supplemental irrigation, are recognized as those most suitable for our often parched environment. To this end, we have continued to greatly expand our succulent plant offering, as well as increase our line of California native plants and those plants from other mediterranean climates. This year we have added eighty-four new plants that are all listed at the back of this catalog and accompanied within the catalog body with a star ( ). Also included at the back of this catalog are updated lists of the plants that we currently grow, arranged by plant type and geographical regions, including the plants of California, South Africa and Australia. Please visit us at our nursery and our website to learn more about the plants at San Marcos Growers. We look forward to working with all our customers to make 2014 another excellent year for horticulture!
