We created Calscape to launch a movement – one we invite you to join. We imagine a California in which water-thirsty lawns are replaced by life-giving native plants, creating a thriving, connected network of natural habitat and California beauty.
The Calscape Vision
Every native garden makes a difference
The simple act of planting native plants in our yards, traffic medians, business parks, and public spaces conserves water, reduces harmful pesticide use, and quite literally supports life. Calscape makes it easy for you to find the right plants and inspiration to transform the place you call home.
Why native plants?
Native plants are an inseparable part of the ecosystem where you live. Your local insects, birds, and other animals still depend on them. In fact, many insects at the foundation of the food chain require specific native plant species for their very survival.
California native plants give more than they take. Because they’re adapted to your local climate, they require far fewer resources than lawns and other plants. This means less watering, fewer pesticides, and more time for you and the pollinators to enjoy your natural landscape.
