Our Nursery is 100% CCOF Organic and propagates heirloom and often rare varieties from seed and “mother plants” onsite. At our Seasonal Plant Sales, we specialize in annual vegetables, flowers and herbs. At our Perennials Weekends, we offer a wide selection of perennial food crops, culinary and medicinal herbs and habitat plants. These events are celebrations of biodiversity, organic gardening and community, and feature live music, a petting zoo and educational opportunities such as tours of OAEC (where you can see plants from our Nursery grown to maturity in our Mother Garden).The funds raised benefit the OAEC Biodiversity Nursery Program, which seeks to introduce to our community a wide array of crops and varieties appropriate for the Bay Area, ultimately contributing to regional food security. The Program also educates the public about plant biodiversity and the necessity of its preservation. OAEC is an 80- acre research, demonstration, education, advocacy and community-organizing center in West Sonoma County, California that develops strategies for regional-scale community resilience and the restoration of biological and cultural diversity.

Sonoma County Master Gardener Programs: Master Gardeners are volunteers trained and certified by the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) in the fields of gardening and horticulture. Since 1981, they have been providing information and technical assistance to home gardeners in Sonoma County. There are approximately 250 Master Gardeners in Sonoma County. The purpose of the Master Gardener program is to provide research-based, scientifically accurate information about horticulture and pest management, so that the home gardener can make informed choices.
