Start: 08/25/2007 - 09:00
End: 08/26/2007 - 17:00

One of the great joys of living in Northern California is that we can garden all year round, creating fall and winter gardens that rival the beauty, diversity and productivity of summer gardens. Now is the time to put fall and winter seedlings into the ground while the soil is still warm! Come and choose from hundreds of varieties of California Certified Organic heirloom brassicas, lettuces, salad greens, chards, leeks, and herbs as well as old-fashioned annual flowers. Select from an impressive array of ornamental and edible perennials propagated from our own collections.

In addition to plant shopping, this is an excellent opportunity to become familiar with OAEC by attending our Open House. The OAEC grounds will be open to give you a taste of our educational programs with a self-guided tour of demonstration stations from 11 am to 2 pm, and we’ll have refreshments and entertainment.
