More than just a place to buy plants, Los Nogales Nursery is a resource grounded in both ecology and community. Named for the endemic but threatened Juglans californica (Southern California black walnut), which grows naturally on the site, the nursery serves as a foundational space to feature native plants that support local bird habitats, right in the heart of Los Angeles.

We offer a curated selection of the Theodore Payne Foundation’s most beloved California native plants, including many grown from local seed gathered in local watersheds.

A Partnership Between Audubon Center at Debs Park
& Theodore Payne Foundation

As collaborators, we host workshops, gardening and propagation classes, bird and native plant ID events, and volunteer days. We hope Los Nogales becomes a neighborhood hub for habitat restoration, connection, and care.
