Zinman’s Food Shop and Vegan Bistro has invited Spadefoot Nursery over for a “Buy a Plate and get a Plant” sale. It’s from 2 – 6 p.m. on Sunday, September 30.
The two local businesses are teaming up to promote Tucson’s biological diversity.
You can do your part by planting something new in your backyard. If you don’t have the space for the plant, you can donate it to someone you know or Spadefoot Nursery can plant it for you.
Plates are $8.75 per person, which includes a one-gallon native plant.
The dishes at Zinman’s Food Shop and Vegan Bistro are packed full of flavors influenced by Ethiopia, China, Louisiana, and the Mediterranean.

Matt Sterner
More about MattAt a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.
He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.
