And most of those insects survive only on the native plants they evolved with.

Native plants are adapted to your climate — once established, most need little or no irrigation.

Common questions
Will this really be specific to my address?
The preview runs on your actual address before you pay anything, and the full sample report is public. Your report opens with your land — your ecoregion, your soil, where your rain drains. If that page could be about anyone’s yard, don’t buy it.
How is this different from free tools like Calscape?
Calscape is free, it is very good, and we use its nursery data ourselves. Give it a location and it returns the plants for your ecoregion, weighted by environmental suitability and by how close the observations are — a plant list to work through. We narrow that to your address: plants native to your county and recorded growing wild nearby, checked against your soil, elevation and climate, ranked by the wildlife each one supports, and sold by California’s native-plant nurseries. Then you build your list from it and print it for the nursery.
Where does the data come from?
Public science: EPA ecoregions, USDA soil surveys, 30-year climate normals, herbarium records, CNPS Calscape, and the caterpillar and bee research behind the wildlife scores. Every source, and what we don’t do, is on one page: read the methodology.
What if it's not right for my yard?
Try it first: the free preview runs on your real address, so you see your own land before you pay anything. After you buy, if a plant looks wrong for your site, every plant in your report has a link to tell us. Questions before or after? hello@nativerefuge.com — a real person answers, usually within two or three business days.
I'm not a real gardener. Will I understand it?
The report is written for humans, not botanists. Every plant shows what it needs — sun, water, size — and you can filter to the yard you actually have. Plants adapted to your conditions are the forgiving choice; that’s the point of natives.
When should I plant?
In fall, with the first rains. They do the watering for you, and roots get all winter to settle in before their first summer. The report doesn’t expire, so build your list now and come back to it when you plant.
I'm a landscape designer. Is this for client work?
Yes — that’s what the bundles are for. A site-specific starting palette in about a minute, plus a polished page to put in front of the client. You curate from there. At the 10-report rate it’s $20 a site.
Do you track me or sell my data?
No. Analytics here are cookieless, there are no ad trackers, and your address is used to build your report — never to advertise to you. The privacy policy is in plain English.
