Best Practices
The Watershed Nursery is a restoration nursery leader in developing and implementing Best Management Practices (BMPs) to reduce the risk of introducing pathogens to restoration projects and residences through our container plant material.
Services
The Watershed Nursery grows the native plants you need for your project. To get the highest quality plants appropriate for your site, one to two years lead time on a project is recommended.
The Watershed Nursery custom collects seeds for your desired species. Seed collection is conducted within your watershed from plants growing in similar habitat conditions to your project site.
* The Watershed Nursery is committed to contributing to habitat value here in the Bay Area. Therefore, we collect seeds only from large populations rather than from solitary plants, and from various populations in the range specified for the project. Propagules are collected in compliance with applicable laws and permits issued by property owner.
The Watershed Nursery assists you in choosing the appropriate species for the habitat of your project whether it be a home garden or restoration site
The Watershed Nursery staff has over 18 years combined experience in vegetation and habitat monitoring in the Bay Area. We have performed monitoring to assess changes in percent cover, density and abundance, gathered field data for vegetation mapping, and surveyed populations of endangered species. We custom design and perform monitoring to assess compliance with project performance criteria for your project.
