Calscape- California Native Plant Society

The goal at Calscape is to help Californians restore nature and save water one garden at a time. This is done by showing people which plants are really native to any location in the state, helping them figure out which ones they want, where to buy them, and how to grow them. True native plants are the foundation for nature restoration. They attract butterflies, birds, reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, bees and other pollinators that evolved with those plants, and over time create a working natural ecosystem, without pesticides, and without artificial fertilizers. Note that for successful native plant landscaping and nature restoration, it's important to grow plants that are native to your location AND placed in spots with the right soil, sun and water conditions. Before finalizing which native plants to grow and exactly where to place them, please review the Calscape plant descriptions to make sure you place them in spots with the conditions they require. Calscapes also has a directory of native butterflies and moths
