California Native Plants

How to Find and Purchase California Native Plants

You can select California native plants for your garden from the "plant lists" in this software.

Once you have chosen your California native plants, you can see native plants on display by visiting the UCSC Arboretum

(http://arboretum.ucsc.edu/visit/garden/california/) or the Cabrillo College Horticulture Center and Botanic Garden

(http://www.cabrillo.edu/academics/horticulture/).

You can purchase your native plants through plant sales of the California Native Plant Society http://www.cruzcnps.org/index.html (Santa Cruz County Chapter)

Most local nurseries carry California native plants. While the sponsors of this software cannot recommend any particular nursery, below is a list of those that feature California native plants or have a California native plant section. This list may be incomplete. If you are a local nursery and carry California native plants, please contact your local water agency to be added to this list.
