Locally Sourced

Nature’s Seed is proud to offer a curated selection of native seed in partnership with local California seed producers such as Hedgerow Farms and Las Flores Farms farmers, and wildland collectors. Take a look at our collection of locally adapted grasses, wildflowers, and shrubs, all native to the Golden State.

Native seeds and local organisms

Conservation comes in all sizes--you don’t have to have a large backyard to support a wide range of native flora and native fauna! In fact, urban gardens have been shown to be very important for the conservation of pollinators, including the monarch butterfly. Planting pollinator wildflowers that are native to your local region will help increase the biodiversity of bees, butterflies, and birds in your area.

Seeds sourced from nature in your area

What makes a California native wildflower ‘wild’? Our native seeds are originally collected from natural areas in California in partnership with landowners and public agencies. These wild-collected seeds are then grown at our farms in California. We harvest those seeds and make them available for restoration, conservation, and gardening projects. When you are planting your native meadow or planning your mountain gardening project, choosing wild-sourced native seed is a great way to ensure project success and to create the best wildlife habitat.

Seeds sourced from farms in your area

Our California native seed comes from two native seed farms, Hedgerow Farms in Northern California, and S&S Seeds in Southern California. These two farms make up 750 acres dedicated to growing native grasses and wildflowers for seed! To learn more about our farms and to see photos of our production fields and demonstration gardens visit our websites here: Hedgerow Farms and S&S Seeds.

More than just native to the North America, or your climate

While many types of plants can grow in California, plants that are native to California have evolved over thousands of years to be the most well-adapted to the local climate, soil types, and ecosystems. California native grasses have deep root systems that provide excellent erosion control and require less water than non-native plants. California wildflowers and grasses require very little irrigation for germination. Learn more about why California native plants are important here.

Advantages of California native seeds

Choosing California native seeds will help you achieve your restoration and conservation goals, from it is improving soil health and supporting pollinators, to using less water in the garden. To learn more about the plants that are right for you, visit the California Native Plant Society’s Bloom! California project. Do you live in Southern California or Northern California? Depending on what part of the state you are in, you can choose from a large selection of native plants that are well-adapted to your sub-region. Click on a sub-region to see which native seeds are right for you.

Non-Natives

Choosing California non-native seeds:

For a variety of reasons, gardeners may choose to mix in plants that are not native to California into their projects. There are many non-native species that still grow well in Northern California and Southern California climates. When choosing a wildflower seed mix that is non-native, it is important to pick species that are not invasive. 

growth

Will non-native seeds still grow?

Non-native seeds will still grow in California. Be sure to learn about the different set of planting requirements between native and non-native seeds before planting. For example, non-native seeds often need more frequent watering than native seeds.

How do I know which seeds will work in my region?

From the coast to the deserts, California is full of many small regions with differences in soil type and ‘microclimates’. The best way to learn which seeds will work well in your region is to find a local public garden or nursery and talk to the experts. You can visit Bloom! California to learn more about the public gardens and nurseries in your area.

Choose the seeds that are right for your next project

Do you have a larger project that requires more than a few pounds of seed? Visit Hedgerow Farms and S&S Seeds to learn about options for purchasing wholesale seed.
