Castro Valley Plant Giveaway

The Forestr.org team is excited to kick-off our very first planting event with FREE plant gifts to all who come out and join us on this Saturday morning.

Just stop by our cleaning event space and pick from our assorted collection of summer veggie plants. Some of which include heirloom tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, squashes, zucchini, and other assorted green goodies.

Once planted, take photos of your fine greens and share them with us right here!

Here are some photos of the varieties of tomatoes we are giving away. Many heirloom varieties that you will not find from big chain stores.
