Anyone with interest or experience in gardening, botany, propagation, native California plants, and ecology should consider this volunteering opportunity.
Gardeners will work here at the California Native Garden Foundation ELSEE garden at 76 Race Street in San Jose. Spend the morning tending to the teaching gardens and nursery with us. Our garden is a model for teaching gardens in schools all over the Bay Area. Help us grow foods and native California plants while spending lots of time outdoors in our beautiful garden, helping us bring a message of healthy living to kids all over the Bay Area.
This is an outdoor, socially-distanced activity.
Feel free to reach out to our Volunteer Coordinators Marybeth Bell and Olivia Tice with any questions at cngfvolunteer@gmail.com.

Mission Statement
. . . to demonstrate the beauty, garden worthiness, and ecological appropriateness of California native gardens.
Description
The California Native Garden Foundation is a non-profit educational, research, and resource organization that promotes gardening with California native plants. CNGF’s goal is to increase the popularity and use of California's native plants in the designed landscape. California Native Garden Foundation (CNGF) educates the public and design community on the value of native gardens through classes, field trips, garden tours, and publications. CNGF offers grants and professional assistance to develop programs on ecology, garden design, plant identification, garden building, and garden management.
Grants are awarded to schools, colleges, museums, and public spaces, whose stewards commit to providing help with installation and maintenance. CNGF offers pro bono garden design, native plants (donated by generous native plant nurseries), and volunteer assistance. The resulting planting and care of native gardens provides enjoyment and education to children and adults for years and years.
