What is a native plant?
“California’s native plants evolved here over a very long period, and are the plants which the first Californians knew and depended on for their livelihood. These plants have co-evolved with animals, fungi, and microbes, to form a complex network of relationships. They are the foundation of our native ecosystems.”
