Support Habitat Restoration

First time volunteering?
Don’t worry — we’ll show you everything you need to know.

Home Ground Habitats is a nonprofit, volunteer-powered nursery dedicated to growing native plants and supporting habitat gardens throughout our community. Volunteers help with many aspects of the nursery and garden, from caring for young plants to assisting with seasonal projects and community events.

Whether you’re an experienced gardener or simply curious about native plants, volunteering is a wonderful way to learn, meet others, and contribute to a healthier local ecosystem.

Plant Propagation

Help grow the next generation of native plants. Volunteers assist with sowing seeds, transplanting seedlings, preparing cuttings, and caring for young plants in the nursery.

This hands-on work is a great way to learn how native plants are propagated and prepared for habitat gardens, while making a real difference in restoring local ecosystems. It’s rewarding, and connects you directly with the plants.

Garden & Nursery Work

Volunteers help maintain our demonstration gardens and nursery spaces. Activities may include planting, watering, mulching, organizing plants, and preparing garden beds for seasonal growth.

Working in the garden is a rewarding way to connect with nature while helping create thriving habitats for pollinators and wildlife.

Community Projects

Home Ground Habitats also collaborates with schools, community spaces, and local organizations to support habitat gardening throughout Marin County.

Volunteers occasionally help with projects such as school garden installations, habitat planting days, and community restoration efforts. These projects bring people together while expanding the reach of native plants and wildlife-friendly landscapes.

Details about upcoming volunteer events and community projects are
listed on our Events & Community Days page.
