Restoring native plants to our communities is vital to preserving biodiversity.
Your garden is your outdoor sanctuary. With some careful plant choices, it can be a haven for native birds as well. Landscaped with native species, your yard, patio, or balcony becomes a vital recharge station for migratory birds passing through and a sanctuary for nesting and overwintering birds.
Each patch of restored native habitat is just that – a patch in the frayed fabric of the ecosystem in which it lies. By landscaping, or Wildscaping, with native plants, we can turn a patchwork of green spaces into a quilt of restored habitat. More native plants mean more choices of food and shelter for native birds, native pollinators and other wildlife.
Bird-friendly landscapes provide food and shelter for wildlife, foster biodiversity, save water, and fight climate change.
Create a Wildscape where songbirds and biodiversity thrive!
California Native Plant Society is on a mission to save California’s native plants and places using both head and heart. CNPS brings together science, education, conservation, and gardening to power the native plant movement.
Calscape is a program of the California Native Plant Society. The goal of Calscape is to help Californians restore nature and save water one garden at a time. They do this by showing people which plants are really native to any location in the state, helping them figure out which ones they want, and where to buy them and how to grow them.
These are our favorite nurseries in the Bay Area. You can find more native plant nurseries on the Calscape website.
