Mission Blue Nursery
Working with community volunteers and school groups, our primary objective is to grow locally adapted native plants for our habitat restoration projects on San Bruno Mountain. At the same time we are providing educational opportunities for volunteers to learn about the propagation and care of these plants, their uses and their significance to the local ecosystems.
The nursery plays a unique role in our Stewardship Volunteer Programs, which provide the opportunity for volunteers to engage in the full circle of restoration on the mountain - from site preparation, plant propagation, to outplanting and site follow-up maintenance.
At Nursery Updates you see what's been going on.
Mission Blue Nursery is currently growing plants for the following projects:
Bog Trail restoration
Owl & Buckeye Canyon restoration
The nursery is a joint venture of San Bruno Mountain Watch and Friends of San Bruno Mountain, and is managed by San Bruno Mountain Watch's Stewardship Director, Joe Cannon. The Mission Blue Nursery is located in Brisbane (map and directions).
The nursery is not open to the public, but we will have seasonal Native Plant Sales where the public is welcome. Funds raised will support the nursery's operation and the overall stewardship program.
