Native Here Nursery, at 101 Golf Course Drive in Tilden Park . Phone number 510-549-0211.  E-mail nativehere@ebcnps.org.  Contact: Charli Danielsen, manager.  The nursery is directly across Golf Course Drive from the Tilden Park Golf Course exit. 

We are participating in Bringing Back the Natives again this year, including the Nursery Extravaganza. The nursery is open year round on Tuesdays Noon to 3, Fridays 9 to noon, and Saturdays 10-2, weather permitting. Plants are for sale at those times. Bring checkbook or cash. We do not take credit cards.

Native Here Nursery is owned and operated by the East Bay Chapter of the California Native Plant Society. Volunteers are welcome to help out at the nursery. It's a chance to learn about native plant horticulture and enjoy the company of congenial people. To volunteer call the nursery when it's open, email nativehere@ebcnps.org or just drop in.

Fall is the time to sow seeds and pot up those that have sprouted. The plant list will not be updated until April, but you can anticipate changes as new plants are processed. Drop by the nursery to see “what’s new” from time to time. You might even take an hour or two to work on potting up some of your favorites.

If you want to purchase plants in small containers, you are more likely to find them between November and May. In order for many of our plants to withstand summer without using a great deal of water, we plant them into larger containers in May and June to carry over to the fall Plant Fair.
