Nature in the City has partnered
with HANC to manage their
Native Plant Nursery!
Have you been wondering where you can purchase local San Francisco native plants? Are you just bushed from native plant, water conservation, and backyard habitat advocates constantly telling you to plant
natives when you
can't find any to buy? 
Head on over to the
Haight-Ashbury Native Plant Nursery!
Greg Gaar, local ecological activist extraordinaire, is propagating and promulgating native plants, sown from locally collected seed. Greg has 40 - 50 species of native plants, for which he and HANC ask a donation on a per plant basis. If you want many plants, a discounted donation can be negotiated.
OPEN LOCATION
Monday thru Saturday | 9 am - 4 pm Golden Gate Park
Sunday | 12 - 4 pm @ Frederick & Arguello (inside the recycling center)
The HANC Native Plant Nursery Arthur L. Menzies Garden of California Native Plants
