We look forward to seeing you at events this season!
This year marks our 25th year on the road. What? Can’t believe that but it’s true. Our first event outside the bounds of Tomatomania’s birthplace (Hortus in Pasadena) was at Tapia Brothers Farm Stand in Encino, 2001.
We’ve morphed through the years and are a new and improved version of that first event now. And we’ll change some more this year. We’ve got some new and exciting things to report in the coming months. First item on that list will be new events, including two new out of state dates coming in May. We’re branching out again!
We’re so grateful that you join us on this journey and celebrate the garden along with us. If you’d like to get our event announcements and such please add your email to our list up above!

The Washington Post joined in the ‘Mania last spring!
“What you enjoy fresh and warm from your garden is so markedly different from what you can buy in the store,” says Scott Daigre, a California-based gardener and producer of “Tomatomania!” billed as the world’s largest tomato seedling sale. “And what a great-looking garden prize. Yeah, cucumbers are cool, but a big fat heirloom tomato? That’s sexy.”

Tomatomania is my favorite holiday of the entire year! Sue B., Los Angeles, CA
Tomatomania! is a huge community of enthusiastic tomato lovers and the world’s largest (and most fun) tomato seedling sale! It’s what the New York Times called, “the tomato freaks’ Woodstock,” and if you’re crazy about tomatoes, this is the place for you!
Started in the early 90s at Hortus, a trend-setting nursery in Pasadena, California, today Tomatomania! includes classes, sales events, tomato tastings, and impromptu social gatherings at popular nurseries and garden destinations across the state.
I’m Scott Daigre, the producer of this crazy circus. We work all year to come up with a collection of seedlings that will thrill and amaze you. My team of experienced “Tomatomaniacs” and I are determined to make you wildly successful in the tomato garden. Our sales events, social media and web presence are all geared to help you become a better gardener and tomato grower!
