Contract Grows
Our nursery regularly preforms large and small contract grows for restoration and biodiversity initiatives. If you are interested in a contract grow with us, please reach out to our nursery manager at sernursery@gmail.com
Donations
Our nursery is powered by the support from our community and volunteers. If you’re looking to support beyond our plant sales or volunteering, please reach out to our nursery manager at sernursery@gmail.com
Plant + Seed Donations
If you’re looking to re-home some native plants or if you have a handful of native plant seeds you don’t see yourself using, the SER-UW Native Plant Nursery happily accepts plant and seed donations from community members. Salvaged plants and seeds help support our nursery and provide opportunities for our student interns to investigate transplanting and plant rehabilitation. We are also happy to do the salvaging ourselves!
Pots + Tool Donations
Our nursery uses lots of gloves, hand tools, hand pruners, tarps, and buckets. If you’re looking to get rid of some of these, please reach out to us at sernursery@gmail.com.
In our commitment to sustainability, our nursery tries to reuse pots whenever possible. If you’re finished with your sturdy plastic pots after a planting, we’d love to take them off your hands! We primarily need containers that are narrow and deep, as most of the species we grow have a taproot. We love cone-tainers! Please reach out to our nursery manager at sernursery@gmail.com to arrange a drop-off time.
Accepted sizes: Cone-tainers, sturdy plastic 4″ pots, 1 gallon, 2-5 gallon.
Monetary Donations
Online donations can be made through our online store.
