Some Native Garden examples.

We have customers all over the state with gardens ranging from tubs on their patio to acres while also suppling restoration projects in the order of miles of creek channel. Here's a few of the different projects that our nursery has supplied. Some have our design input, some other professionals, some are the home owners figuring it out themselves.

If you have used our plants, WE WANT YOUR GARDEN PICTURE!

Native Landscaping in San Diego County

This is a front yard in a conventional subdivision. Designed by Greg Rubin of Calown, the homeowners did much of the work themselves.

Bay Area Native Landscaping.

Yes we sell to the Bay area. We make a great weekend get away. GW has a slope problem in San Mateo County. If you want your exercise, just walk up the hill'. Customers like this are why I snort when I hear adult men complain about their terrible 10 foot slope they have to plant.

San Luis Obispo County Native Gardens

LG did this one himself in Arroyo Grande.
