::
Central Coast Natives ::
Natives are plant
species occuring naturally in a specific region. As many plant species are native
to California as to the entire United States east of the Mississippi. Since the
advent of global travel, humans have moved plants throughout the world. The introduction
of invasive non-native plants to new areas has led to a large change in ecosystems
and a loss of biodiversity. There are a number of species threatened in our area.
The native plants in the Conservatory occur naturally in San Luis Obispo county.
