MARIN HEADLANDS NATIVE PLANT NURSERY
Wednesdays, 1–4 pm & Saturdays, 9 am–Noon
Come grow with us at the Marin Headlands Native Plant Nursery! Each year, we grow over 30,000 plants to restore natural habitats within the Marin Headlands. The dedication and support of our volunteers are vital in the effort to grow plants, collect seeds, maintain the nursery facility, and much more. Our projects are outdoors, fun, and always hands-on.
