Visiting the Nursery

Walk the gardens, explore native plants, and experience habitat in action.

Nestled in Indian Valley’s quiet open space, our nursery is more than a plant collection — it’s a living garden where native species grow, pollinators flourish, and habitat restoration is visible at every turn. As you wander winding gravel paths, you’ll see wildflowers, hedgerows, orchards, and seasonal blooms thriving alongside butterflies, bees, and birds. This is a place to learn, observe, and be inspired — whether you’re planning your own garden or simply enjoying nature in bloom.

What You’ll See & Explore

Your visit unfolds naturally — from demonstration plantings to habitat features that show how California natives can thrive in home landscapes. Among the highlights you’ll find:

  • Native plant demonstration gardens with labeled species
  • Meadow plantings and pollinator-friendly plantings
  • Monarch Waystation and habitat plantings
  • Seasonal blooms and ecological plant relationships
  • Organic nursery propagation areas

Our demonstration gardens have been recognized for ecological stewardship and sustainability, including the Marin Conservation League’s Green Business Award and local sustainability honors for habitat gardening leadership.

Growing Habitat Together

Our nursery supports regional projects — from restoration plantings to school gardens, trail plantings, and pollinator corridors. Seeing these landscapes in person deepens understanding of how native plants connect across the Bay Area.
