California Native Plant Month 2026
California is one of the most biologically rich places on Earth, home to many plant species that live nowhere else. Wherever you go in the state, native plants are supporting the web of life around you.
From the majestic giant sequoia to the tiny daisy desertstar, California native plants provide the beauty, the color, and the habitat that make California home. Find three ways this month that you can deepen your relationship with native plants.
