About this Event
Please sign our volunteer before you arrive!
Nature in the City started growing native plants with community volunteers to preserve coastal native plants like coast buckwheat, seaside daisy, and deer W**d, which provide habitat for local species. Growing these plants from resilient native seed genetics ensures the survival of endangered plants and our local butterflies, bees, birds, and other wildlife. Visit our website to learn more about our native plant nursery!
Most of the plants we grow go to our public restoration projects like the Green Hairstreak Corridor in the Inner Sunset.
The workday tasks vary from month to month, but be ready to get your hands dirty! We often work in light rain, but heavy rain cancels.
What to bring:
- long pants and layers (clothes that might get dirty!)
- closed-toe shoes
- water bottle
- sun protection
Getting to the nursery:
- There is a parking lot located off O'Shaunessey Boulevard near Portola
- MUNI lines 44, 48, 52, and 36 all have closeby stops
- From the O'Shaughnessy Blvd. gate: Walk along the road, enter the lower parking lot and find a staircase on the far left side of the parking lot that leads to the track
- The nursery is on the far side of the track behind the bleachers/shipping containers (See map pin for exact meeting location)
This workday happens every 2nd Wednesday and 4th Saturday of the month.
