The Living Classroom Nursery is a non-profit horticulture campus providing life skills to the homeless and plant science workshops for the general public.
We currently have native California plant starts and veggie starts available for sale in our nursery. We also specialize in butterfly and hummingbird necturing plants that attract amazing beneficial wildlife to your garden. The Living Classroom has been officially acknowledge as a Monarch Weighstation.
We offer special tours for elementary school classes focusing on the life cycle of the monarch butterfly. This is a new project we have begun in conjunction with the Western Monarch Guardians. To book a class tour please call us at (714)229-0585 or reach out directly to our monarch docents Joe and Pricilla at (714)754-5464. There is a small fee for each class tour that helps support our program.
