Creating your dream garden is a thrilling project, and it starts with a visit to a plant life nursery. At a nursery, you can find a vast selection of plants, including trees, shrubs, perennials, and annuals, to choose from.

A well-designed landscape can make a huge difference in the beauty and functionality of your garden. By selecting the right plants for your climate and soil type, you can create a thriving oasis that requires minimal maintenance.

To begin designing your dream garden, consider the amount of sunlight and water your plants will need. Most plants require at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day, and some may need more or less depending on the season.

With a little planning and research, you can create a beautiful and functional outdoor space that you'll enjoy for years to come.

Curated Selections

California native plants have many pros, but their potent scents are the biggest draw of all.

Gardening experts share the most fragrant native plants, which can be found at nurseries that specialize in native plants. These nurseries can help you explore, learn, and eventually buy the plants you need for a native plant habitat on your side yard or patio.

Most of the nurseries listed are retail shops, devoted to residential landscapes, but there are also wholesale nurseries that can provide native plants for bigger projects.

Wholesale native plant nurseries are focused on supplying retail nurseries or restoration work, so they don't keep a large inventory of plants that would allow them to quickly supply a big commercial or government project.

The Theodore Payne Foundation, which recently partnered with the Audubon Center at Debs Park, wants to see more resources available for contractors and designers who typically create landscapes based on whatever plants are easiest and cheapest to find.
