Spiral Gardens, a Berkeley nursery on Oregon and Sacramento Streets, is one of the vendors at the Berkeley Farmers’ Markets. Spiral Gardens calls itself a food security project, specializing in selling edible and medicinal herbs, plants, and trees. In addition to selling plants at the nursery, they run a small produce stand on Tuesdays at the corner of Sacramento and Oregon, featuring local and organic produce at wholesale cost. The stand has been offering fresh produce to a lower-income Berkeley neighborhood, but now, it is in danger of being shut down due to a significant drop-off in plant sales, which were subsidizing the produce stands.
