VENTURA, Calif. - Californer -- Students for Eco-Education and Agriculture (SEEAG) is hosting a free, family-friendly "Farm Day Every Day" tour at Otto & Sons Nursery in Fillmore, Saturday, June 27, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

Visitors will get a behind-the-scenes tour at one of the region's premier wholesale nurseries.

For more than 50 years, Otto & Sons Nursery has been growing hundreds of varieties of roses, perennials, edibles, and fruit trees for garden centers, landscapers and homeowners.

Guests will take a guided one-mile walking tour through the nursery and its 1.3-acre display garden. Along the way, participants will learn how roses and other plants are propagated, grown, harvested, marketed, and distributed. The tour will also explore the important role that water, soil health, and nursery management practices play in producing healthy plants.
