Community Nurseries

Grow native plants with us.

Overview

Community nurseries are the foundation of every MiniNature chapter. Volunteers and partner gardens propagate native plants, practice Indigenous horticulture, and prepare seedlings for installations and workshops.

Whether you are new to plant care or an experienced grower, the nursery is a welcoming space to build skills, share stories, and organize climate action.
