Hi Melody - We're glad you enjoyed the video; the Watershed Nursery in Point Richmond is a terrific place to buy California natives!

Excellent video..... now I want to make a trip from the South Bay to this nursery.
You mentioned that oaks were number two on Doug Tallamy’s list for supporting wildlife.... what is number one?
