Our Nursery

Our nursery location has moved!  We start thousands of vegetable seedlings, berries, herbs, and fruits, to be planted at our many projects throughout the Bay Area. Check out photos of our new nursery location on facebook!

This video, taken in June 2009, examines our old rooftop nursery and garden above the home of Planting Justice founders Gavin Raders and Haleh Zandi in Oakland, CA. Gavin takes you through this tour, explaining some of the principles of permaculture and plant guilds by demonstrating how to create dynamic polycultures in containers.  Since we first began gardening on this roof in 2008, we harvested approximately 750 pounds of produce, saving over $1500!

Come join us! We regularly held community volunteer days at our nursery...seeding new flats of seeds, transplanting, building, etc.  Send us an email, or sign up for our listserv for regular announcements regarding free workshops, community work parties, job opportunities, and more!
