Hidden Forest Nursery

Inspiring thriving gardens in Northern California's shade since 1964.

Support The Hidden Forest

Help the Hidden Forest stay open.  A wonderful community treasure located in Sebastopol, California, this breathtaking forest hosts many beautiful trees and plants in an exquisite garden setting. The Hidden Forest invites visitors to connect deeply with nature, whether  through quiet observation or by wandering down trails or participating in educational workshops about plants and ecology.  Many unique species are being stewarded here, from beloved California natives to world-class Rhododendrons, to extremely rare trees, such as our Dawn Redwoods.

The Hidden Forest needs your support. This expansive 7-acre forest and its botanical inhabitants cannot survive on revenue from nursery sales alone. We are ready to make improvements to the site to realize its sustainable potential as an important botanical reserve and educational resource. We plan to hire a septic engineer to accommodate a new public restroom (necessary for hosting future events and classes), to maintain trails, trees and infrastructure, and to pay a permitting consultant to continue our journey towards ensuring this forest stays a community resource forever.

It is our hope to immediately raise $5,000 for The Hidden Forest before the end of the year. Won’t you help the Hidden Forest keep the gates open, grow our capacity to receive visitors, and host more classes and other gatherings to fulfill our mission to facilitate connection to nature and community? On behalf of The Hidden Forest and its stewards, your generosity is much appreciated.
