Our restoration/education native plant nursery grows plants for restoration and mitigation projects in the coastal area to help State Parks, the Nature Conservancy, the WRA, the Mendocino Land Trust and other conservation groups, as well as local gardeners who want to dedicate space to native plants.

Jug Handle has been a leader in the Caspar gorse eradication project, seeking to replace this and other invasive plants and noxious weeds with native plants to restore natural habitats.

In most years, school children whose classes come to Jug Handle for Nature Education take part in activities at the nursery contributing stewardship at the nursery while learning the value of native plants in the environment.
