Native Garden Volunteer Day
Sunday, Sept 16th 10:00am-noon
Point Vicente Interpretive Garden
31501 Palos Verdes Dr W, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
Come join us for a volunteer day in the native plant garden at the Point Vicente Interpretive Center. Get outdoors by helping with our oceanside garden. Participants learn about native California plants and valuable gardening skills. The garden provides important habitat for endangered species and inspires people to plant local. To restore this critical resource, volunteers will be pruning, weeding, watering, spreading or collecting native seeds, learning irrigation systems, planting, and mulching the oceanside garden.
All ages and skill levels are welcome. Bring your family!! Close-toed shoes are required and please bring sun protection and water. To join us, RSVP to Megan Wolff at megan@sccnps.org two days prior to the event if possible.
Other upcoming dates: Typically every 3rd Sunday- Oct 14, Nov 18, Dec 16

Mission Statement
The mission of the California Native Plant Society is to increase understanding and appreciation of California's native plants and to conserve them and their natural habitats through education, science, advocacy, horticulture and land stewardship
Description
The native plants of California are unlike any other in the world. From the richly colored expanse of spring wildflowers in the desert to groves of Monterey cypress on the coast, California 's wild gardens are immensely diverse and awe-inspiring in their beauty. They define the landscape and offer Californians a sense of place, pride and stability.
The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) works to protect California's native plant heritage and preserve it for future generations. Our work continues at a most critical time. Urban and agricultural growth, the spread of nonnative weeds, expanding knowledge regarding sustainable timber and grazing practices, and frequently inadequate land use planning all elevate the essential need to prevent the decline in California's native plant diversity.
To reverse this trend, CNPS promotes sound plant science as the backbone of effective natural areas protection. We work closely with decision-makers, scientists, and local planners to advocate for well-informed and environmental friendly policies, regulations, and land management practices.
CNPS is a non-profit organization largely run by volunteers. Our nearly 10,000 members work to promote native plant appreciation, research, and conservation through 33 chapters located statewide.
