EcoCenter Weekly Nursery Workdays

At the GBF EcoCenter Greenhouse, staff & volunteers cultivate native plants to restore & manage native coastal tallgrass prairies in four counties that surround Galveston Bay.

Every Thursday and Saturday, 8-11:00 am volunteers work in our native plant nursery to help heal one of America’s rarest and most endangered landscapes: the Coastal Tallgrass Prairie.

This is not just gardening – this work creates homes for wildlife and builds a natural shield against floods; you’re growing a legacy for future generations.

You will help with general nursery maintenance including but not be limited to:

• Weeding and potting plants
• Mixing soil and rotating plants
• Cleaning and sorting seeds
• seasonal maintenance as needed.

No experience is necessary; we will show you what to do!
