This Saturday we’re finally opening our greenhouse for just one day! Ahead of our big day we want to give a big heartfelt thank you to everyone that’s reached out and said they’re coming🫶🏼

In a capitalist society that consistently prioritizes convenience, we continue to choose care and community. 99% of our plant starts come from our own saved seed. All of our seeds are open-pollinated, mostly heirloom, and grown just 200 feet away from where we sell our plants. Creating this closed loop model ensures the continuation of these heritage crops and further builds resiliency in these seeds and plants. While this model is not the most profitable 😅 it is the right and just way to honor the legacy of these heritage foods.

We’re still trying to figure out how to fit this type of nursery model into the fast-paced culture we live in, but every year we inch a little bit closer to making it work. Thanks to all who are along for the ride🌹

Picture 3: Giant Milkweed! Native to South Asia but also a host to the monarch butterfly. Perennial in Zones 10+
Picture 4: Henna!
Picture 5: Jamun Tree. Found a few plants hidden in the back of my collection. Started from cuttings last year.

Less than 3 weeks (May 9th!!) until we open our greenhouse for our big Spring plant sale! Slide to the end to see our full availability or click the link in our bio! Even though our availability is much smaller in comparison to years past, this years selection feels so much more meaningful in many ways. We whittled down the selection to only include the South Asian plants we believe to be a representation of the most cherished, spiritually and culturally important plants that are also (intentionally) erased from our local food system and nursery spaces.

Picture 1: Ajwain Patta, Indian Mint, Cuban Oregano… this is hands down the most cross cultural plant we’ve encountered. It goes by as many names as it has culinary uses. From pakora to mole to mojo marinade. It grows freely along the equator and does especially well in warmer temperatures. In the Bay Area we find it grows best in dappled light or indoors. Always a special plant to grow and we always enjoy watching people’s faces light up when they see this plant.

Picture 4: Long Beans also from our prolific farm plants from last year
Picture 5: Desi Girl Tomato, the only tomato we’re growing this year because if you know, you know!
Picture 6: Passionfruit ‘Frederick’ started from cuttings from our ginormous passion vine in the greenhouse!
Picture 7: Aloe Vera already sending out pups
Picture 8: Tropical Red Guava surprisingly cold tolerant and a very quick grower!

Mowed down our bell bean cover crop today and just like that, our season of rest is over. A true sign of whether or not you Wintered well, is if you’re actually energized and inspired to start the farming season all over again. And I can happily report that I am!! 🚜💨

If it were up to me I’d keep all these plants in the greenhouse forever, but unfortunately someone’s gotta pay rent around here and I don’t think they’re up for the job (neither am I tbh😅)

Come take a plant or two home with you to live rent freee on MAY 9th! They’re worth it I promise 🪴

1: Tamarind tree as a cute houseplant (?)
2: Overwintered Tulsi ‘Krishna’
3: Karela seeds ! Saved from our seed farm last Summer
4: Jadu’i watermelon seeds. 100% of our sales for this variety will go to
5: Mogra flower
6: Passionfruit flower

May 9th! We’re opening our nursery for just one day this Spring with a dreamy selection of our most cherished tropical perennials🌿

We’ve decided to take a break this season from growing our typical assortment of heritage vegetables and herbs. It can be easy to go full steam ahead without pausing to imagine what destination we’re aiming for. This year we’re taking a sacred pause to reflect, reimagine, and reframe the context of our farm work in light of ongoing atrocities in the political world climate.

Our mission has always been to increase food sovereignty by providing access to heritage foods not readily available in our local food system. We want our work to feel impactful for the most vulnerable communities it serves and we’re hoping this time gives us clarity on how to move forward in the most sustainable, regenerative, and just way.

We hope you’ll join us at our nursery on May 9th to celebrate these plants, their stories, and the cultural importance they carry. We will be joined by other small businesses for a day full of celebration of all things South Asian culture, music and food! More info, exact times and address will be shared as the date approaches💗

Ps. Our seed shop is open and selling out fast! If you want to try your hand at growing your own heritage plants from seeds check out our Seed Shop, link in bio🫘

An afternoon on our seed farm last year shot through the eyes of

Picture 1: Standing in front of a wall of Ridge Gourd. The bright yellow flowers attract bumblebees in the hoards. The fruit are juicy, lights and airy, and if left on the vine to fully mature they turn into sponges!
Picture 2: Val Papdi in all its glory. For years I’ve grown Surti Papdi because that’s the cultivar my family grew up with. But after years of seeing how popular this specific variety was in our nursery, we decided to grow it for seed.
Picture 3: Hibiscus in full flower. The leaves are a favorite to munch on while working out on the farm. Super tart and slightly succulent-y. The red calyx’s are dried and saved for tea.
Picture 4: Burmese Sour tomatoes ripening up
Picture 5 & 6: Oaxacan Marigolds drying for seed. Our plants were nearly 7 feet tall so we plan to grow them again this year and select for shorter plants.
Picture 7: Opening Val Papdi dried bean to save seed
Picture 8: Indian Eggplant ready to be harvested
Picture 9: A row of Rama Tulsi in full flower
Picture 10: Different Za’atar plants

All of our seed varieties are available on our seed shop. Link in bio 🫘🌿❤️

This year we have 12 new seed varieties up on our website that highlight the biodiversity and resiliency of South Asian crops and cuisine. From a sour Burmese tomato, to a heat packed Bangladeshi pepper, to an incredibly aromatic Pakistani Cilantro, these seeds adapted beautifully to our cooler, more temperate climate. Many of these varieties we’ve been longing to grow and provide back to you all but obtaining viable seeds from an ethical source was always our biggest challenge. We’re excited to say that these seeds have officially joined the rest of our heritage seed collection. Link in Bio to check them out!🌱

I started a Substack! 🌈

I’ve been yearning to share more about the “behind the scenes” life as a woman-of-color nursery owner and farmer, living in a land based community, and struggling to find balance again with unexpected health issues. But Instagram feels fleeting and sometimes there’s no pretty reel or picture to lump in with certain topics.

This first post is about embracing the darkness this Winter. Not as a cliche saying but as a call to action, a verb: Wintering.

I plan to use this Substack moving forward as a place to catalogue all my thoughts and feelings about the plants that continue to intrigue and delight me on a daily basis. Definitely will be worth the read for all my plant lovers out there!🌿🫶🏼

Join us on our seed farm this Fall as we sit in community to process and revel in the act of heritage seed saving 🙏🏽 We’ll be hosting various seed saving “workshops” throughout the next couple months for folks of all ages to learn about this practice and to have an opportunity to sit with these plants, share stories, and be in community with one another.

Each workshop will begin by harvesting that days’ specific crops, going through a seed demo and then spending the rest of our time in circles saving seeds! Everyone will go home with an abundance of seeds and produce from that days’ crops.

In a world that seems to never slow down, I hope these workshops can provide the medicine of slowness and gratitude. No farming or seed saving experience necessary. Just a desire to be respectfully in community and on land with one another. Sliding scale pricing available. Click the link in our bio or visit kulanursery.com/events for more details and to sign up!🫶🏼

The first Damask Rose grown at our nursery. Hoping to grow alongside this medicine and glean all of its grief support during these turbulent times. 🌹

(We don’t sell damask rose plants., but we’re planning on planting them on our farm in hopes of offering them next year)
