The Nursery
The Native Plant Nursery at Willow Creek Conservancy supports our mission to restore healthy ecosystems and strengthen community connections to the land. We grow regionally adapted native plants from locally collected seeds and cuttings to ensure strong genetic ties to the Central Coast and long-term success in local restoration efforts. The native plant nursery currently consists of one shade house and one green house, with plans to build two additional shade houses to support additional plants.
