Volunteers needed at the East Oakland Nursery to help set up our new tables and reorganize all our plant buddies.🌱

Over winter we installed a french drain system (no more swamp!) and shade structure over the main area in the nursery, and now that it's finished, it's time to set up the new tables and move all the plants back to their proper places.

It's a big job, and we need your help!

Sign up for a slot (or two or three 😘 ) on the following dates & join us to set up the East Oakland Nursery for success!

⏰ 9 am - 12 noon - Friday, June 27
⏰12 noon - 3 pm - Friday, June 27

THE EAST OAKLAND NURSERY WILL BE CLOSED IN HONOR OF JUNETEENTH

The East Oakland Nursery will be closed in honor of Juneteenth AKA Freedom Day. On this day,
Black Americans celebrate the struggles of their ancestors, and the hard fought victories on the road to freedom. For nonblack Americans, it is an opportunity to reflect on whiteness, intersections of oppression and privilege, and the ongoing struggle for abolition.

We will be sharing resources and events in our stories. Feel free to share what is inspiring thought, reflection, and action for you this Juneteenth.

Do you need a nervous system reset? Enjoy this appreciation of this month's California native plant, Hummingbird Sage aka Salvia spathacea! Thanks to Ellyce Moselle Studio for putting together this amazing video shot at Planting Justice's Mother Farm in El Sobrante, CA.

From : Hummingbird Sage is a magnet for pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and --- of course --- hummingbirds! This attractive sage is notable for its bold pink and red flowering spikes and pleasant fragrance. It spreads by rhizomes and over time can cover a large area, making it a popular groundcover plant.

Hummingbird Sage grows well in shade and part-shade. In its natural environment, it's often found under trees and large shrubs. It is drought tolerant and can survive without summer irrigation once established. Some supplemental water will keep the foliage green.

There are so many benefits to growing plants native to your local ecology. More pollinators. Increased biodiversity. Lower maintenance. Less need for pesticides.

What do you love about hummingbird sage?

Happy Father’s Day!

In honor of all those trying to disrupt and dismantle the patriarchy in order to grow something more expansive, nurturing, and non-hierarchical, we are offering 20% off everything at the nursery! Let them know at checkout that you’d like the Father’s Day Discount.

This offer is only good for folks shopping in-person, and is good this Friday June 13th, Saturday, June 14th, and Monday, June 16th. That’s right, we are extending it one extra day for anyone who might need a little extra time 😉

And here’s a little excerpt from a book some staff are reading, entitled “We Grow the World Together: Parenting Toward Abolition”. Check it out!

“Abolition, like our bodily communities, reaches always toward “life and interconnection.”
If we recognize this, then parenting isn’t a barrier to abolitionist work;
it is a potential site of it,
a potential home for it,
a potential practice of it,
and a potential tool for enlarging its vision.”
