Elderberry Farms Native Plant Nursery

Chris is founder and co-director of Elderberry Farms Native Plant Nursery, a board member of Sacramento Valley Chapter of California Native Plant Society, a representative to the American River Parkway Coalition and a representative to the Environmental Council of Sacramento (ECOS). She guest teaches at American River College and has a Bachelor’s degree in Social Welfare. Her interest in starting a nursery that did not use herbicides or pesticides began when she couldn’t find anyone that grew the local native plants that she found while hiking.
