Garden Hortica where its BLOOM and BOOM!
________________________________________________________________
How do you choose to live? How about immersed in nature? With plants of beauty. Or with food for the plucking?
At Garden Hortica we combine garden design and an urban food garden aesthetically so you can enjoy the fruits of your labor together with a beautiful garden space.
An ultimate experience is a well designed edibles and plant garden surrounded by food crops where you can harvest and enjoy the bounty of the earth right there.
Imagine alfresco dining...where your guests get to pick the lettuce and tomatoes fresh off the vine or the egg plant and bell peppers for the grill...right in a well designed garden space where urban agriculture meets garden design...
This is what Garden Hortica does.
You can see a prototype of this vision at Garden Hortica on 7th St. and Gerry Adams in downtown Oakland.
Garden Hortica on 7th St Oakland
Finally we are ready to hold our first garden event at GH on 7th aka Old Oakland. Come celebrate and see what we have transformed in two months. What was then a vacant lot is now a space where urban agri meets garden design.

By joining us in FB you will receive announcements of garden events, garden talks, garden parties, sales and special promotions.
GH on 7th is firstly our vision of creating a garden space that grows food and ornamental plants. It also serves as a gathering garden space for all kinds of activities from teach-in for kids to social events and how to talks. Call it a garden town hall for the community.
For food crops we grow seasonals like tomatoes, peppers, herbs, squash and much more
For garden plants we focus on low water and drought tolerant plants such as succulents, cacti, South African natives especially leucospermums (proteas), leucadendrons, grevilleas and other South African natives.
We also showcase GH container gardens, garden walls and roof gardens. Here we use salvage materials or discards to create uniqueness.
