Native Plant Nursery
The Native Plant Nursery produces tens of thousands of plants annually that are sold in contract to the State and Regional Parks Districts, private landscapers, and to the general public through our fall and spring plant sales and by appointment. The nursery is also available for contract growing.
A diverse array of over 180 species of California Natives (annual, perennials, vines, conifers and bulbs), ranging from coastal scrub, oak woodland, maritime chaparral, grassland, dune and riparian plant communities make up our plant list.
Native Plant Availability List - January 2013
Please contact our Native Plant Program Director, Amanda Yantos Francis, to make an appointment for purchasing.
All proceeds from plant sales go directly to furthering MEarth's mission.
THANK YOU for supporting our kids as they change their world!

Community Restoration Sites
The MEarth team has formed numerous community partnerships with public and private entities on the Monterey Peninsula to engage our students in active native plant restoration projects. Often students are involved in the entire process from seed collection and nursery management, all the way to outplanting. Involving students in the stewardship in the natural resources of their community, allows them to cultivate a real sense of giving back, while sparking interest in possible career directions.
