I’m not far from you, where do you go to get your natives? Thanks.

Hi. My first choice is Tree of Life Nursery in San Juan Capistrano because they're open Monday through Saturday & they have the largest selection of California natives, possibly in the whole state.
Second, Grow Native Nursery at the California Botanic Garden in Claremont. In spring it is open Friday through Sunday & they have a good selection. It's probably not as large as Tree of Life's, but they do carry some items that Tree of Life does not.
Third, Fullerton Arboretum has occasional native plant sales. Their prices are competitive with Tree of Life and Grow Native Nursery, but their sales are only held two or three times a year.
Fourth, the local Armstrong Nursery in Fullerton has a small but growing selection of California native plants. The advantage is they are close and convenient. The disadvantage is their selection is limited & their prices are higher than any of the other nurseries.
I hope this helps.
