Nursery Practices

Nursery at night

Our stock has been grown onsite from open-pollinated seeds or rooted cuttings from our mother plants. 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 Organic annuals and perennials, you are supporting the programs and work of OAEC.

Bring us your pots!

We'd love to reuse your gallon, square 4-inch pots and square 17-inch flats. No others, please.

Did you know?

The OAEC Nursery is one of the only in the Bay Area that is 100% California Certified Organic, including our ornamentals and all aspects of our production: potting mixes, amendments and foliar sprays.

Other sustainability practices include the use of recycled pots and EnviroStake, a polypropylene-derived pot tag that is curbside recyclable and biodegradable.

Plant sale

Our Spring Plant Sale now spans two weekends, giving you even more opportunity to visit the OAEC Nursery and tour our land. Feel free to review the annuals and perennials that we are proudly offering at this year's Sale.

Tell us you're coming on Facebook.

This sale features early Spring crops such as "Salads-in-a-6-pack," Bodega Red Potatoes, peas, brassicas, onions, flowers, and herbs. We will be offering a very limited selection of tomatoes for those of you adventurous enough to plant them this early in the season. (At the May sale, we'll have an additional 170 varieties!)

This is a FREE event with a Garden Tour at 1pm on both Saturday and Sunday, and there will be delicious food available for purchase. With this event, we honor Alan Chadwick, a visionary in the organic gardening movement.
