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, 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!
