Hidden Forest Nursery

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

OUR RESPONSE TO COVID-19

Hidden Forest Nursery Covid message
Here’s what we are doing to keep you safe and sane during your visit to the forest.
The nursery is open Thursday through Monday from 9 am to 4 pm.
Because we can all use a little escape in these uneasy times, we are keeping our forest sanctuary open for an extra hour each day to give you a safe place to enjoy fresh air, shade, birdsong and nature’s beauty. With more than seven acres and nearly two miles of trails, it’s easy to maintain proper social distancing protocols while walking through the forest. Trail walking closes at 5 pm.

Safe and Sane

To experience the nursery and forest trails while ensuring the health and safety of our customers, staff, and vendors, we are complying with Sonoma County and CDC guidelines and ask that all visitors join the effort.
These guidelines include:

  • If you have a temperature, cough, runny nose, chills, body aches, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, or other cold or flu-like symptoms, please stay home.
  • All our staff wear face masks when working near each other and while helping customers. We are logging staff temperatures every day.
  • Customers are required to have face masks in sight and to wear them when you come within 6 feet of staff of other customers.
  • Hand sanitizer is available at the kiosk. We recommend you carry your own personal hand sanitizer just in case.
  • Wash your hands, cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing and avoid high-touch surfaces.
  • Keep the minimum recommended social distance of 6 feet or more between you and other visitors as you walk.
  • Warn other trail users of your presence to allow proper distance. Step off trails to allow others to pass. Signal your presence with your voice.
  • Bring your own water. We cannot provide water at this time.
  • Pack out your trash to help keep the forest clean and protect everyone who enters the forest to work, walk, or shop.

Thank you for helping us stop the spread of Coronavirus.
