Fall Vegetable Garden Preparation Day
Aug, 9th 9:30 – 11:30

It’s time to start thinking about your fall vegetable garden. Ploughshares staff members will guide you through everything you need to know to have success this fall. After a class we will be having a volunteer work day. Come help us seed our fall vegetable crop. This event is being hosted by our good friends at Slow Food. A short tour of our farm and community garden will be given after the event.

Join the "Tear Out Your Lawn" Challenge

Drought conditions and water rationing often lead to a proliferation of ugly brown lawns. Now Ploughshares Nursery at 2701 Main St. in Alameda has a better way of saving water and saving money. The Nursery is offering a “Tear Out Your Lawn Challenge”. Participants in the challenge will receive a one time 20% coupon good for the purchase of drought tolerant plants and a free half hour landscaping consultation with a senior staff member. To be eligible you must remove 40% or more of your lawn and provide before and after photos as proof. The offer is good until the end of the year.
