Nursery Manager Doug Gosling

The OAEC Nursery is the only 100% California Certified Organic nursery in the Bay Area with a non-profit education center onsite. Our plants are appropriate for Permaculture design.

We offer hundreds of varieties of heirloom, open-pollinated vegetables, flowers, and culinary and medicinal herbs, many started from our own seed collection. All have been trialed and savored for years in our demonstration gardens and kitchen.
