Come volunteer at the OCF Community Nursery and learn about Native Plant Seed Sowing!
About this event
We will start our day with a tour of our Community Nursery. Then, participants will work together with OCF AmeriCorps members to mix soil and sanitize pots. Afterwards, OCF AmeriCorps Member, Kate Yee, will walk participants through the basic of sowing seeds. This workshop will focus on California natives, including: Narrow Leaf Milkweed, Salvia spathaceae, Salvia apiana, Helianthus californicus.
No experience necessary, just a willingness to work with others while enjoying the outside! Great opportunity to gain hands-on nursery and landscape experience while supporting a good cause!
