Morro Bay High School Entrance

Project Title: Morro Bay High School Nursury

Description: OCE has grown between 500 and 1000 trees at Morro Bay High School’s Horticulture Unit with the help of students and teachers for the past ten years.  Students work with OCE to help to start, tend and repot plants as part of classwork or extracirricular activities, learning about native plant biology and ecology and good landscaping practices all along the way. The nursury also provides students with the unique opportunity to watch a small forest grow out of the pots.  Many of the seeds planted at the school are collected within city limits, even as close as interstate exit a block away.  Collecting seeds and growing them in at the school helps acclimate plants to the climate where they will eventually be permanently planted.
