The Occidental Arts and Ecology Center (OAEC) Nursery was established to share organically grown seedlings and perennials cultivated onsite since 1974. The mission of the OAEC Nursery is to support local food sovereignty, provide plants and education to gardeners and small-scale farmers, and tend to herbs and roots for herbalists and home gardeners. Open Wednesday – Saturday, 11 am – 5 pm.
Bioregion Description:
In Western Sonoma County, the location of the town of Occidental straddles a saddle between two distinct watersheds, the Salmon Creek Watershed and Dutch Bill Creek Watershed, a tributary of the Russian River Basin. The town is bisected by a watershed ridge divide, which roughly runs through the south end of town.
