What are “Invasive Plants” and why should you care?
 Although exotic (non-native) species have been colonizing the state since the Mission era, there is now growing public awareness and concern about invasive plant species in California and the west. Why are these plants of such concern? They often form monocultures that effectively exclude native species. This reduced diversity means loss of wildlife habitat, as food and shelter are eliminated. Gardeners may be most familiar with horticultural varieties that escape from cultivation. Notorious examples include Cortaderia (Pampas grass) along the Coast Highway and canyons, Vinca, widespread in wooded areas, and Pennisetum, lining roadways from the coast to the Utah canyonlands.

“We Grow.” and Grow and Grow...
 This year we expanded our growing capabilities by adding both a new shade house and a new greenhouse. We are excited about these facilities because they significantly increase our propagation and growing capabilities. We look forward to this coming planting season, as we continue our best efforts to provide the plants you need for your native landscapes and revegetation projects.
