Sausal Creek Native Plant and Pollinator Garden

One of the problems affecting Sausal Creek Watershed is the widespread growth of invasive, nonnative plants, some of which were planted many generations ago. These plants steal nutrients from native plants which negatively impacts the health of the wildlife that rely on the native plants for food and shelter. Friends of Sausal Creek Native Plant Nursery propagates and grows approximately 150 of the 240 different species of plants native to the Sausal Creek Watershed. Seeds are collected regularly on seed hikes and brought back to the nursery for planting. In addition to sowing seeds and transplanting, volunteers spend time watering, weeding, and pruning.
