Grow Native Nursery
Grow Native is a division of Rancho Santa Ana Botanic Garden. It’s located on Davis Avenue in the Veteran’s Administration Grounds and just north of UCLA’s Jackie Robinson Stadium. 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. both days.
The 12-acre garden and nursery, located on the grounds of the VA Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System (VAGLAHS) was established in 1989 as part of the VA’s Horticulture Therapy Program, a work therapy program to assist veterans making the transition back to civilian employment.
The Grow Native Nursery Westwood staff collaborates with the VAGLAHS to train veterans on the propagation, care and maintenance of California native plants and offers nursery sales to the public. The site has historically been known as the Veterans Garden and has served veterans over the years through a variety of projects such as growing micro-greens for local restaurants and cut flowers for local florists.
