in South Berkeley.
Everythingplanted herekeeps growing.
Open Fri 11–6 · Sat & Sun 11–5Come as a gardener,a neighbor, or a supporter
We're a nonprofit nursery and community farm on a reclaimed stretch of railroad land at Sacramento and Oregon Streets. Shop our tables for food plants, herbs, and natives, and every dollar grows into free food, free classes, and a stronger neighborhood.
Shop the Nursery
Affordable food plants, herbs, and California natives, all grown with organic practices. Every purchase funds everything else we do.
The NurseryDig in on Farm Sunday
One big plot we all work together, clear-weather Sundays 1 to 5. The harvest is shared and given away.
The Community FarmKeep it growing
Join the Outer Ring of monthly donors, or give once. Small gifts keep the center widening.
Support
A nursery that feeds a farmthat feeds a neighborhood
Here's how the spiral works. You buy a tomato start or a rosemary plant at a fair price. Those proceeds, all of them, fund our Community Farm, which gives its entire harvest away, and our free workshops, field trips, and the thousands of gardening questions we answer every year. No middle steps, no overhead mystery. A flat of seedlings here does more work than it would anywhere else in the Bay.
On the tables this week
We're a small nursery and our stock changes with the seasons, so instead of a catalog, here's the real thing: the latest look at our tables.

From the neighborhood
“I just visited this ‘feel at home’ garden and got myself 2 tree collards and a red currant vine…feeling excited!”
R.N., Berkeley “Spiral Gardens never fails to lift my spirits, blow my mind and engage my heart with all that is right and wonderful with life in the East Bay. Thank you for all you do and for who you are!”
A.R., Oakland “I really enjoyed my first visit today and all the plants growing there. Daniel was so helpful with information about starting a Autumn and Winter Garden. I’ll be back for more seedlings :-)”
M.D., Berkeley
Thirty years in the ground,and still widening
In 1993 this was vacant railroad land. Today it's a nursery, a farm, and a classroom without walls, built with the neighborhood's blessing and kept alive by its hands. Come see what's growing.
