Visit the Presidio Nursery for a hands-on nature experience during Climate Action Month. Bring your plant questions for a tour of the nursery's greenhouses, and then as desired, stay and participate in some hands-on skill building. Activities vary seasonally and based on needs, but they will be accessible to all ages and physical abilities and may include some transplanting or pruning. Participants under age 14 must be accompanied by an attentive adult. 

Registration for this program is now closed due to capacity limits. You may join the waitlist and will be notified if any spots become available.

What to Expect and What to Bring: 

Tour occurs rain or shine. Wear clothes that can get dirty. Long pants and closed-toe shoes are required. Bring layers for changing weather and rain gear, if necessary.
