MBCA promotes the use of native plants which attract and support wildlife, conserve water and thrive in our challenging climate. Be sure to check out our Desert-Wise living section with our Plant Spotlight. 
Where can desert gardeners purchase native, near-native, or drought-tolerant plants? Here is a list accurate as of February 2021 of commercial nurseries (and two non-profits) in Southern California that have been recommended to MBCA by local residents and Landscape Tour participants.
