OAEC Plant Sales

We offer three plant sales annually, the Spring, Summer and Fall sales.



We boast an especially comprehensive selection of California Certified Organic seedlings — all grown in our nursery, many from seed collected from our gardens. We have hundreds of our favorite open-pollinated vegetable, flower and herb heirlooms — the tastiest, most beautiful, most interesting and rare, and most regionally appropriate varieties. We will feature many of our “signature” plants — food crops and ornamentals that have been grown here for years and have become identified with our Mother Garden.

Our Plant Sales wouldn't be possible without the support of our wonderful volunteer staff. If you're interested in volunteering at any of our Plant Sales, please contact Kate Taylor at plantsale@oaec.org
