WEEKENDS May 17 – June 29 10 am- 5 pm The new organic nursery at the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center will be open to the public during the spring and summer on a regular basis– every weekend from May 17 through June 29, from 10 am to 5 pm– featuring perennial plants. OAEC’s organic nursery is in its second year of operation, offering hundreds of open-pollinated, heirloom, and rare varieties of organic perennials. We are one of the very few nurseries in the Bay Area that is completely California Certified Organic (C.C.O.F.) including all of our ornamentals. All of our potting mixes, amendments and foliar sprays are also Certified Organic. We attempt, whenever possible, to use pots which have been returned to us. In addition we use “Envirostake” pot tags, which are curbside recyclable and degradable in landfills. Our stock has been grown onsite from open-pollinated seeds or rooted cuttings from our mother plants. Many of these plants can be viewed growing in the gardens during our public tours. We guarantee the health of our plants and assure a high quality of care from inception to point of sale. When you buy our California Certified perennials you are also supporting our heirloom seed collection and all of the sustainability programs at Occidental Arts and Ecology Center. OAEC will continue holding its three annual Plant Sales, which feature seasonally appropriate annual vegetables, flowers and herbs, but will now be open to continue offering perennials which can be planted throughout the year. Perennials will be offered primarily in gallon pots. Please see www.oaec.org for a complete list of plants available. For information call (707) 874-1557 x.101 or see www.oaec.org .
