Decades-old urban garden in San Jose faces eviction, seeks $2.5M to stay or relocate

After 27 years, a San Jose urban garden is facing imminent eviction.

Plant & Soul California, a beloved urban garden at 76 Race St., has been ordered to vacate its property following a real estate sale. The business is hoping residents, a foundation or angel investor will step up to help it make a counteroffer or relocate, even though the property is already in escrow. So far, the organization has raised $5,000. If it isn’t able to raise a substantial amount, the group will try to find a new location and start again.
