Whether it's heat or sweet, red or green, there is something for you in Fullerton this weekend. The Monster Tomato and Pepper Sale occurs once a year, and with more than 100 varieties of peppers and 250-plus tomato types to choose from, that salsa recipe will never be the same.
Thursday was a “members only” sale at the arboretum, but from now until Sunday, the rest of us can join in on the juicy festivities. All the peppers and tomatoes present were organically grown at the
Fullerton Arboretum, and proceeds go right back into funding the
grounds, which include the museum and Heritage House. Admission is free,
but donations aid the development of the gardens and future
activities.
Specifics after the jump!
