Our City Forest Community Nursery, based in San Jose, CA, operates as a specialized horticultural facility and nonprofit training center dedicated to urban forestry. Established in 1994, the nursery focuses on cultivating thousands of drought-tolerant trees and native shrubs specifically selected for the Silicon Valley climate. Their growing operations are integrated with environmental advocacy, serving as a resource for homeowners, schools, and local parks. Beyond plant production, the facility serves as a hands-on training ground where certified arborists and staff provide instruction on arboriculture, proper planting techniques, and long-term tree stewardship. The nursery supports various community initiatives, including lawn conversion programs and free tree grant programs, ensuring that the plant material produced is successfully established in the urban landscape. By emphasizing the 'right tree for the right place,' the business functions as both a nursery and an educational hub for urban ecosystem development.
