Ploughshares is an environmentally sustainable retail nursery specializing in California native, drought tolerant and edible plants. Our three acre nursery includes propagation facilities, demonstration gardens, and retail space.

We are a social enterprise of the Alameda Point Collaborative (APC) supportive housing community.

Our plants are the highest quality locally grown plants, and we back them up with the knowledge and expertise to help you successfully grow them in your own garden.

We advance our local community and the planet by:

• Selling products that protect the environment
• Using recycled materials whenever possible
• Creating job training opportunities for residents of APC housing
• Generating revenue to support APC housing
