"Every child should have mud pies, grasshoppers, waterbugs, tadpoles, frogs & turtles, elderberries, wild strawberries, acorns, hickory nuts, trees to climb, animals to pet, hayfields, pine cones, rocks to roll, sand, snakes, huckleberries and hornets – and any child who has been deprived of these has been deprived of the best part of his education." -Luther Burbank 1849 - 1926

Las Pilitas: A Native Plant Nursery for Southern California

Southern Las Pilitas Nursery in Escondido, California is a wonder of nature just oozing with friendliness and information...and solutions to help you turn your home into a natural California landscape.

Las Pilitas has turned a few acres into nursery grounds surrounded by a native setting of 21 acres, with a growing demonstration garden. Take a look at planted San Diego native plants along with the nursery plants.

The nursery sports an atmosphere of an old style farm with demonstration plantings available for your study and enjoyment. The nursery setting presents a fragment of San Diego County's native plants and wildlife.

These dedicated native nursery pros certainly deserve bragging rights:

We grow 150 types of Ceanothus and Manzanita!

We stock about 20 types of Salvia(Sages)

Butterfly gardening is easy with these pros at your elbow. They have an extensive list of butterflies and their host plants for your reference at:
