About LA Native Plant Source
Established in 2019 and located in Highland Park, California, LA Native Plant Source is a 1/2-acre, residential native garden with an extensive home nursery. LANPS propagates local native plant species of particular interest to Los Angeles gardeners who want to provide food and shelter to the city’s wildlife through their gardening practices. LANPS also focuses on propagating and promulgating lesser-known and/or threatened local species such as Spotted Humboldt’s Lily and Southern California Black Walnut.
We support the Theodore Payne Foundation
LA Native Plant Source seeks to support the creation of beautiful and sustainable habitat gardens in Los Angeles, seeing them as a kind of antidote to the constant erasure of both geography and memory that has characterized the city’s history. In direct support of weaving this more “authentic” habitat into the conventional urban landscape, LANPS donates 100% of its annual proceeds to the Theodore Payne Foundation for Wildflowers & Native Plants.
