Join us at the Camarillo Native Plant Nursery (aka CAMFAC) to help us grow native plants for habitat restoration! We grow all manner of native plants at the nursery, from purple needle grass (Stipa pulchra) to scrub oaks (Quercus berberidifolia)!
After gathering seeds from the surrounding area, we are now raising native plants in our nursery. The native plants we grow will be planted in restoration sites like the San Marcos Foothills Preserve, Hammond's Meadow, Pt. Mugu, the Carpinteria Salt Marsh, and more. Habitat restoration can't happen without plants, so we need your help to grow these plants!
You'll be working with certified Master Gardener Kelle Green, who will guide you through every aspect of growing native plants from seeds. Whether you have a green thumb or you have trouble keeping cacti alive, Kelle has knowledge and experience to share that will help you be a better gardener.
Volunteers will help with activities like watering, repotting, weeding, facilities maintenance, and more.
We need volunteers for the following dates:
Friday, January 31, 2020: 8:30 am to 2 pm
Saturday, February 8, 2020: 8:30 am to 2pm
*These events have already been filled, but be sure to keep an eye out for future volunteer opportunities!
