What a gift to us in California this beautiful place is! Finally, a place selling only native plants! And in a cool, quirky, artsy old pottery studio setting! It was a joy to shop there and I got the most amazing plants. Native plants are so much more hearty, strong, and fire resistant and so good for the environment. Love it! All my friends are excited about this place. Thank you!

I'm so glad this place has returned. The new location is bigger and better. Mother Natives is where I bought almost all of the plants for the California native garden I installed last year to replace my lawn. The selection of native plants is amazing, and Shevaun is always incredibly helpful. I plan on getting more plants there this fall!

We wanted to add some native drought tolerant plants to our suburban yard. I heard great things about Mother Natives so we stopped by early on a Sunday afternoon and were really impressed with the great selection of healthy, well priced plants. We picked up a few including ceanothus, yarrow, coyote mint, and a manzanita. This nursery is small but mighty. Give them a try!

What a darling little nursery! I asked so many questions about my unusually shady, deer-loving yard, and received some brilliant feedback. This is now my go to place whenever I need (or want) plants for my yard. (Also be sure and grab some seed bombs to throw around town just for fun!) Plant native and watch everything thrive!
