Occidental Arts & Ecology -Spring Plant Sale & Tour

The Occidental Arts and Ecology Center will hold its annual Summer Plant Sale fundraiser on Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26. Plant Sale hours are 9am - 5pm. Admission is free. There will also be a Plant Sale the following weekend, May 2 & 3, also 9am ­- 5pm. We'll be selling hundreds of open-pollinated, heirloom, and rare varieties - an even more spectacular selection than ever before! All are California Certified Organic - many started from our own seed collection - and have been trialed, tasted, and savored for years in our demonstration gardens and kitchen. This plant sale focuses on the warm season summer crops such as tomatoes, basil, summer and winter squash, pumpkins, hot and sweet peppers, eggplants, beans, melons, cucumbers and gourds. We will also feature a wide array of perennial food crops and permaculture plants, culinary and medicinal herbs as well as traditional food crops of the Andes, such as yacon, kiwicha, quinoa, mashua, oca, pepino, and Cape gooseberry. See www.oaec.org for a detailed list. The OAEC garden staff will be on hand to tell you about our diverse selections. A one-hour tour will be offered at 1 pm on Sunday, April 26. Plant sale will be held RAIN OR SHINE!
