Start a Native Tree Nursery
It's easy to grow native trees from seed!
We can cool our city at ground level by generating a canopy of native trees and shrubs. You can help us plant urban forests, or grow for your own yard, by raising native tree and shrub seedlings. It's easy, low input, and fun!

Want to learn hands on? Join us for a workshop where we'll teach you how to:
Identify native plants and collect seeds on your regular walks
Germinate seeds and raise seedlings in pots in the shade
Use the seedlings to help plant pocket-forests in yards and public spaces across our community
Join our mailing list below to become a tree nursery participant, and we will check in with you a couple of times a year to see how things are going!
