PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Theodore Payne Foundation's Living Collection includes the native plants in our demonstration gardens and nursery, as well as plants grown in containers as mother stock. The Living Collection provides visitors with beautiful and inspiring examples of California's native flora and are also planted to meet the needs of the TPF's horticulture and education programs - providing seed and cuttings for the Seed Program and Nursery, and teaching materials for adult and children's classes.

Visit our demonstration gardens in the retail nursery, La Fetra Nature Education Facilities, and Fire Management Demonstration Garden to see displays of mature specimens - inspiration for your own garden. You'll find plantings for sun, shade, slopes, narrow beds, pollinators, birds, groundcovers, wild flowers, and fire-wise landscapes.

Our grounds are a wonderful place to visit — and visitors are welcome all year. Admission is always free. Hike to the top of Wild Flower Hill and enjoy a picnic overlooking the San Fernando Valley, or take a stroll through our nursery and Demonstration Gardens. Friendly, on-leash dogs are welcome.
