“THE BEST PLANT SALE ON EARTH.”
– MICHELE ANNA JORDAN
The Mother Garden Nursery at OAEC is 100% California Certified Organic and is dedicated to the preservation of biodiversity. Our hand-tended plants are selected to thrive regionally here in the Bay Area or their potential to fulfill our needs in the extreme climate conditions ahead.
When you buy our perennials, you are supporting the projects and partnerships of OAEC, including the Mother Garden Biodiversity Program.
We rely on word of mouth to build awareness of our business and mission. The best compliment you can provide is to leave a review so that others can learn about us! Add your review here.

You can head towards the coast on Bodega Highway, stop at Wild Flour Bread in Freestone, then up to the Nursery and down to the ocean on Coleman Valley Road.” – B Fernandez
