Services

Customized plant growing

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.

Customized seed collection

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.

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.
