Get growing this fall planting season!
By growing native plants, we have the power to support wildlife, save precious resources and connect more deeply with our local environment — all while creating beautiful landscapes that celebrate California.
Fall is the best time to plant native plants and this season, we have more ways than ever to bring native plants home. Local CNPS chapters across the state are hosting plant sales — find one near you! What’s more? We’re thrilled to announce Bloom! California, a statewide effort to increase the sale and use of native plants.

Native plants for a bright tomorrow
The California Native Plant Society is launching Bloom! California in partnership with over 75 nurseries to increase native plant sales throughout the state, transforming our gardens, parks, business fronts, and beyond.
Starting October 1, visit participating nurseries near you to purchase our select native plants for your garden or outdoor space.
Visit bloomcalifornia.org to get growing with information about each Bloom! California plant group, inspirational garden designs, and a nursery locater!
