Reviving the land with native plants
From empty parkways to schoolyards, we transform neglected spaces into thriving MiniNature Reserves. Each reserve provides habitat for pollinators, wildlife, and future generations.
Connecting generations to heal the planet
We are volunteer-powered and Gen Z–led. Our events bring people together across generations to learn, grow, and restore nature side by side.
MiniNature Reserve has greatly piqued my interest in native plants! I have learned so much and there is a great sense of community at these events."— Community Event Attendee
Honoring Indigenous heritage
We celebrate the heritage of the Chumash, the indigenous people of California's central and southern coastal regions, and the deep cultural value of native plants through workshops, cooking classes, and storytelling.
