Native Plant Sale and Open House at the Joaquin Miller Park Native Plant Nursery FOSC will be holding a native plant sale and open house on Sunday, October 26, 2008 at the JMNPN. Come by between 10am and 3pm to purchase native plants just in time to plant for the winter rains. Between 3 and 5pm, we will celebrate the construction of a new shade house for the plants and unveil plans for continued renovations! Come learn more about plant propagation at the 11am workshop, or get some general ideas for garden design at 1:30pm. Native plant experts will be available all day with practical ideas for all spaces, to help you pick appropriate plants for your specific planting area. Join in on the raffle for Patagonia clothing, books, and check out the community information tables. For more information, contact coordinator@sausalcreek.org or 510-501-3672. The Joaquin Miller Native Plant Nursery grows local natives from seeds and cuttings collected in the Sausal Creek watershed and nearby. Our main goal is growing plants for creek restoration projects, school native plant projects, Oakland parks, and similar uses.  Diplacus aurantiacus The nursery work occurs on an ongoing basis, mostly by volunteers. We'll need a lot of extra effort to get ready for the tour and the plant sale. Volunteer at least 20 hours, and you'll not only get a sneak preview, we'll give you first dibs at the selection! Volunteer hours are 1:30 to 4:30 on Saturdays. Information:

The nursery is located in Joaquin Miller Park, on Sanborn Road. If driving, take the Joaquin Miller Drive exit off of Highway 13, head uphill. Turn left onto Sanborn (there are lots of signs, including one in the median that says "Native Plant Nursery.") To reach the nursery, park near the Ranger Station, and walk past the yellow gate across Sanborn; the nursery is about 1Ž4 mile on your left. (
