Quality Plants
To grow our beautiful, hardy plants we:
Include native soil for better water retention, adaptability, and survivability than conventional nursery mix
Add to our soils the native mycorrhizal component called for in many restoration plans
Grow in full sun
Fertilize only in rare cases—native soils already contain essential nutrients
Use pesticides only if the life of the crop is at risk
Subject our plants to controlled-drought situations in the nursery
Our plants have the best chance of survival when facing poor soils, strong winds, over- or underwatering, insect damage, herbivory, and other environmental stresses. Our tough-love approach produces a healthy, insect- and disease-free plant that will stand up to the rigors of its new environment.
We choose to grow species that do particularly well in the Southern California landscape. This careful selection process ensures that the plants we offer are not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable and suited to withstand the challenges of Southern California's unique climate.
Opting for these hardy varieties increases plant survival rates and minimized need for replacements.
