Growing Together at the Native Seed Farm

Looking for a way to give back to Nature this Winter? Come help us behind the scenes at the Irvine Ranch Conservancy’s one-of-a-kind Native Seed Farm in Irvine! Every day at the farm is different; depending on the needs of the farm we will be harvesting seeds from beautiful native plants, planting new seeds in the annual plots, working in our native plant demo garden, or tending to younger seedlings in our nursery.

Working with us at the Native Seed Farm is a great way to grow your community and cultivate knowledge about local plant and wildlife! Absolutely no experience or special equipment required! 

Reviewing the 1-5 Difficulty Ratings will help you evaluate your readiness to participate in this Level 2 activity. Activities may include bending, stooping, crouching, squatting, long periods of standing, reaching, pulling, grabbing, and pushing.

Please note our Minors Policy for all public activities: All minors (under 18 years of age) must be accompanied by their respective parent or legal guardian. Both parent and their accompanying minor(s) must be registered for the Irvine Ranch Conservancy led activity they wish to attend.

Yoga at the Native Seed Farm

Hiking & Fitness
Yoga at the Native Seed Farm

Join us at the Native Seed Farm for a short walking tour of the 8-acre property, where more than 50 native plant species are grown and harvested for seed, followed up by a 45 minute outdoor yoga session. The seed grown at the farm is used to help restore and enhance the preserved lands within the Irvine Ranch Natural Landmarks. We will meet at the Seed Farm staging area, which has restrooms and a water refill station, drop off our mats and head out for a short walk, about 1 mile, along the flat paths amongst the rows of shrubs and flower beds.

Please bring water, your own yoga mat and large beach towel. Mats will not be provided; we will drop mats at a secure location while hiking. Closed-toe shoes and water are required for the walk. Hats and sunscreen highly recommended.

Reviewing the 1-through-5 Difficulty Ratings will help you evaluate your readiness to participate in this level-2 activity on the land. Please visit our FAQ page for answers to activity specific questions you may have prior to registering.
