Historic
gardens, nestled between the coastal forest and the ocean, are
the home of The Stanford Inn By The Sea.
Big
River Nurseries is our California Certified Organic garden. We
offer produce and herbs to selected restaurants and grocers.
As a retail nursery, we provide ornamental plants, herbal wreaths,
sprays, braids, spices and herbs. We provide vegetables and herbs
to our dining room.

|
The
gardens are "double dug," raised beds to enable better
use of square footage and to reduce erosion.
|
|
Using
French intensive, biodynamic, and organic methods, we raise a
wide variety of lettuces, cabbages, spinach, radishes and gourmet
vegetables such as radicchio, mizuna, arugula, and tah tsai.
Some beds are used to provide cut flowers and others are rose
beds. We are also experimenting with a wide variety of fruit
trees, learning which will flourish on the coast.
|
We
are excited by our gardens - particularly in that we can present
this approach to gardening/farming to you. It is productive and
beautiful while remaining in balance with nature.
