The California Native Plant Society (CNPS) maintains Calscape, a database of California native plants and the nurseries that carry them. It is the cleanest way to avoid the "drought tolerant but not actually native" trap common at big-box stores.

We surface 30 curated Calscape nurseries in the app's nursery finder so you can see who is near you or who ships statewide.

Calscape is the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) database of native plants and the nurseries that sell them. It is the closest thing California has to a single source of truth for which plants are native to your specific area and where to actually buy them.

Calscape lists nurseries that sell California natives, organized by CNPS region: Bay Area, Southern California, Central Coast, Sacramento Valley, San Joaquin Valley, North Coast, Sierra, and beyond. Pollinator Patch surfaces a curated set of 30 Calscape-listed nurseries chosen for regional coverage and a strong California-native focus.
