Theodore Payne Foundation, San Fernando

Great selection of native California plants. Organized by different habitat types (chaparral, riparian woodland, coastal sage, desert) & with signs explaining plant care & requirements, it's easy to find what you need for your garden & at inexpensive prices. The employees are knowledgeable & very helpful. * During the COVID-19 pandemic, they are taking precautions with reservations of time slots to visit the nursery, brought their indoor store to outdoor stands, have signs all over to ensure patrons wear masks, & sanitizing stations throughout. They also offer online purchases with pick up as an option.

A small non-profit foundation with tremendous impacts for SoCal. Been a member and volunteer over the years. Well curated nursery, knowledgeable staff and wonderful education programs. Have learned so much about native plant life here. And most of my natives come from their nursery. Btw be sure to buy some of their tee-shirts. Beautifully done and most comfortable!!
