CA NATIVE PLANT RESOURCES

Hi Heroes!

We want to provide some tools for you in your hunt for native plants.

The following list is a short one, but powerful.

Many of our fellow plant nerds are familiar with several of these nurseries. The sheet is sorted by zip code.

Given this list is so short, we need your help.

If you have a local CA Native nursery, CA Native Landscape Architect, CA Native Gardener and/or CA Native Seed Bank you love that is not on this list, please fill out his form.

For those already on the list, if you need a correction, simply fill out the form, and in the last box before submission, type in the words, VENDOR UPDATE.
