The Greenhouse & Nursery The most visible, ongoing volunteer activity is seen in the Greenhouse/Nursery, situated next to the Kohl Pumphouse. A three-room indoor greenhouse and workshop is surrounded by an outdoor area which includes several hundred square feet of plant tables - all in a beautiful park environment.

All plants in the Greenhouse and Nursery have been donated – either by commercial supporters, community residents or, of course, San Mateo Arboretum Society members and/or volunteers.  Because of this, we are able to offer many unique specimens not easily found elsewhere.  Savvy customers know to check often for the arrival of new and unusual donations. Outdoor plants for sale in the Nursery Plants frequently available for purchase: For outdoor/landscaping plants, our extensive collections of succulents & cacti, pelargonums & geraniums (many fragrant!), bearded iris, Victorian & heirloom plants, roses, brugmansia & datura, as well as many bunch grasses, ground covers & vines are constantly popular.  Seasonal herbs and vegetables are often available.  Some plants are cuttings or divisions of those in our demonstration garden, where the source plants already in the ground help better determine how they will look and understand their behavior in your own garden. Indoor varieties include tropical vines, bromeliads, ficus and other small indoor shrubs, hanging plants, begonias and other traditional favorites.  An entire room full is contains many types of orchids. A visit to the Greenhouse/Nursery is a lively experience.  Shoppers rarely leave without one or many unique – sometimes eclectic – plant(s) and a very contented smile. Our open times may occasionally need to be different than above, so don’t hesitate to call us at 579-0536 before coming.
