How to Host the Mobile Nursery


WHO CAN HOST?

Anyone, including you! And the more the merrier if you want to co-host with family, friends, or colleagues. :)

(A special shout-out to all of our residential neighborhood hosts—you are the backbone of what we do at the Mobile Nursery!)


What DOES IT involve?

All you need to do is:

  • Contact us to schedule a date and time.

  • Help us spread the word about your event to your community.

  • Attend and enjoy!

For more detailed information, download and peruse our handy Host Toolkit.


WHY HOST?

Every host has their own motivations for signing up—the possibilities are endless. You might want to:

  • Make a space for neighbors, friends, and family to hang out (block party, anyone?).

  • Bring your community together through gardening.

  • Add an exciting event to your organization’s calendar.

  • Fundraise for a nonprofit cause you care about (ask us for details!)

  • Promote native plants and biodiversity in your neighborhood.

  • Draw people to your business.

As long as your aim is to bring people together and create a sense of community, you can’t go wrong!


where CAN the truck go?

Practically anywhere! We have hosted sales on residential streets, at community hubs, businesses, and outdoor markets.

You can help us by ensuring:

  • The plant sale has been enthusiastically promoted (social media, word of mouth, flyers… we encourage it all!).

  • The proposed location has good visibility and lively foot traffic.

  • There is ample space to park the truck and for people to walk up.

  • We are not within close proximity to an independently-owned native plant nursery!


READY TO HOST?

Let us know! We can’t wait to hear from you.
