The Edible Schoolyard’s annual Plant Sale is a Berkeley institution — and/or, as we pointed out on Friday, a little like making a visit to an outdoor Chez Panisse, given Alice Waters’ pivotal role in helping to found and fund the internationally recognized project.
After all, as contributing photographer Nancy Rubin points out, where but in Berkeley might one encounter two teenage girls wolfing down organic greens while running a booth filled with cookies?
The sale, which took place on Saturday at King Middle School, was beautifully captured by Rubin (whom we heartily welcome home from her Moroccan sojourn) — who, for the record, said she munched on both homegrown lettuce and cookies.
To be sure you don’t miss out on events like this, visit Berkeleyside’s Events Calendar — and submit your own events while you’re there.
