Native Plant Nursery

Putah Creek Nursery grows native species sourced within the Putah-Cache watershed. Our community-centered nursery educates and involves volunteers and interns to grow native plant species from seed to maturity. We grow for restoration projects and gardeners alike.

Our nursery is nestled along Putah Creek near Lake Solano Park. We grow over 120 local native tree, shrub, forb and grass species. Interested in purchasing plants from Putah Creek Nursery? Get in touch with us for pricing and plant availability.

We run regular volunteer days every Wednesday from 9am to noon and involve volunteers in all of our nursery tasks, including seed collection, seed processing, seed starting, transplanting, pruning, staking, and other plant care activities. Volunteer days are a fun and social way to see the nursery and learn about native plant propagation. Come join us!

We grow over 120 local native tree, shrub, forb and grass species. 

Our promise to customers:
  • We ethically source our plant and seed material from local wildlands to ensure their locality to the region
  • We adhere to phytosanitary Best Management Practices at every stage of production to reduce the risk of disease and pathogens in our stock
  • We are uniquely operated by volunteers, interns, staff, and other community members

There are three options to purchase plants from us:
  • You may place a hold on plants we already have in stock via our Agreement to Hold.
  • If you have a larger project and know which plants you need in advance, a contract grow is usually the best option. Here is a sample of our grow contract.
  • Though we are not set up for small retail sales, we are happy to sell to individual customers with a $100 minimum purchase amount.
Please get in touch with us by emailing nursery@putahcreekcouncil.org or by calling our office at (530) 795-900 ext.1 to make an appointment before coming out to the nursery.
