Haight Ashbury 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?
Open every day 9 am - 4 pm, a wonderful native plant nursery now exists at
Haight Ashbury Neighborhood Council's (HANC) Recycling Center
in Golden Gate Park at Frederick & Arguello (behind Kezar Stadium).
Greg Gaar, local ecological activist extraordinaire is propagating and promulgating native plants,
sown from locally
collected seed.
Greg has approximately 40-50 species of native plants, for which he and
HANC ask for a donation on a per plant basis. If you want many plants,
they will negotiate a discounted donation.
Local native plants are also for sale at:
California Native Plant Society's annual November sale,
Friends of San Bruno Mountain, who
propagate native plants in South San Francisco.
