9 AM - 5 PM

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.

This is a free event with Garden Tours at 11 AM and 1 PM.

The public is invited to tour the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center on Saturday, August 23, during the Center's Fall Biodiversity Plant Sale. This will be the second, hour-long tour of the day, beginning at 1 PM. Tour participants will be introduced to the Center's organic gardens, which preserve thousands of varieties of rare and endangered food, medicinal, and ornamental plants. Sturdy shoes, sunblock or hat, and personal water bottles are recommended. A suggested donation of $10 per person is requested. For information call (707) 874-1557 x201.
