Home Ground Habitats

Come celebrate Fall at Home Ground Habitats open garden, tabling event, and fall plant sale! Fall is the best time of year to purchase native plants because the start of California’s rainy season is the ideal time to add new plants to the garden. Planting with the first rains gives roots the cool, wet winter months to settle in and become established before the warmer, drier seasons arrive. Shop 20% off all habitat plants, wildflower seeds, and more - give your garden a strong start for the year ahead.
Home Ground Habitats is a native plant nursery, demonstration garden, and education center located in Indian Valley, Novato, CA. As a community-centered organization, we focus on environmental education, California native plant propagation, and ethical land stewardship on nearly one acre of land.
 Expect to see our amazing community partners: Marin County Parks, Marin Monarch Working Group, Happy Bat Solutions, Pesticide Free Zone, Pollinator Partnership, California Bluebird Recovery Program, Museum of American Indian, and WildCare. Presentations and a special flower press demonstration will be scheduled throughout the day for even more learning.
Get your garden ready and plant it out with habitat plants that support pollinators and wildlife from Home Ground Habitats! RSVP to let us know you're coming.
Follow us @homegroundhabitats on Instagram and Facebook to get event updates.
