What is Calscape?
Calscape is a project of the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) created to support California native plant gardeners and industry members. The Calscape website is California’s most visited native plant website with more than 1.4 million users a year. It includes detailed profiles on more than 8500 types of California’s native plants and cultivars; helpful filters for finding the right plants by needs, preferences and location; garden designs, and educational information.
The website also showcases native plant landscape professionals and nurseries, allowing these businesses to create profiles and appear in the website’s search directories. -
Why did CNPS change Calscape?
CNPS updated Calscape to create a more flexible and attractive platform with expanded features and ongoing data improvement. The new Calscape offers improved navigation, updated plant data filters, a new landscape professional directory, a focus on plant communities (or habitats), and additional information for plant selection and gardening. Please review our release notes to see the improvements we’re actively working on. If you experience something that is not on this list, please let us know. We expect this list to get shorter quickly!
