Native Plant Invasion: Planting Party at Ocean View Growing Grounds

Native Plant Invasion (NPI) is on a mission to restore non-native areas to their natural, native state. Our efforts focus on schools and underserved communities, promoting sustainable urban greening and fostering local ecosystems. Through these gardens, we aim to inspire education and engagement around the importance of native planting, encouraging broader community involvement in ecological restoration.

Join us for a vibrant celebration of native plants as NPI partners with Ocean View Growing Grounds (OVGG) to expand their flourishing garden! At our Native Plant Planting Party, you'll get your hands in the soil alongside fellow plant enthusiasts while learning about these remarkable species. Local San Diego organizations will showcase their work and relation with native flora, while the San Diego Bird Alliance leads creative activities including pollinator rock painting and educational games. Come be part of this growing community and experience firsthand why native plants are essential to our region's natural and cultural landscape!

What to Bring:

• Closed-toe shoes

• Sun protection (sunscreen, hat)

• Water

• Your passion for native plants!
