The Rotary Clubs also built a shade structure attached to a cabin which is at the site of the greenhouse. 
 
The purpose of the nursery is to grow healthy native plants needed for the park's eco-restoration projects. The purpose of the interpretive gardens is to offer park visitors an opportunity to enjoy and learn about native plants and the habitats they provide. The three clubs contributed $10,000 to this project which was done in partnership with FOLFAN (Friends of Lakes Folsom and Natoma).
