    At our first Spring Plant Sale we'll be selling hundreds of open-pollinated, heirloom and rare varieties – all California Certified Organic – many started from our own seed collection. All have been trialed, tasted, and savored for years in our demonstration gardens and kitchen. This sale features early Spring crops such as lettuces and greens, peas, brassicas, chards, onions, leeks, flowers, and herbs.

    The OAEC garden staff will be on hand to tell you about our diverse selections and offer a tour of our gardens, where many of these plants are featured.
