Native Planting Season Kickoff
Let’s kick off the start of native planting season together! Late fall is the best time for planting native plants because it allows the plants to take full advantage of our winter rainy season, helping them establish deep root systems for staying resilient during the hot, dry summer months.
With our 100+ acre wholesale growing yard just across the street, we can offer a huge selection of native and drought-tolerant plants with a particular focus on the hardiest and best options for our SoCal landscape. We’ll be here to answer questions and help you achieve your dream native garden.
🌿 Browse through over 125 species of native plants and learn about all they have to offer
🌱 Now is the best time to get your native seeds in the ground! Shop through 20+ species of native seed and mix and match to create your own little superbloom in your backyard.
