Many local nurseries carry some California native plants. The nurseries listed here are ones that specialize in California native plants. Most have online plant inventories on their websites. Because online inventories may not fully reflect current stock available, we suggest that before making a trip to buy a plant based on plant inventory on a nursery’s website, you make a call to confirm that the nursery still has the plants you want.
