Tree of Life Nursery Information

Located on 40 acres of the historic Rancho Mission Viejo in San Juan Capistrano, Tree of Life Nursery, the largest native plant supplier in the state, provides a means by which California’s precious flora can return to the land. Tree of Life Nursery supplies a high quality line of over 500 species and varieties for landscaping and ecological restoration at the wholesale level, as well as has roughly 100 species available for the public at our onsite retail shop. Services offered include special orders for site-specific provenance, rare and endangered species, various sizes of containerized and bare root plants, and large quantities for restoration jobs. Tree of Life Nursery staff has extensive experience in ecological restoration, habitat enhancement and authentic landscaping. Focusing on stewardship of the land, we are truly dedicated to the concept of horticulture appropriate to this beautiful region called California. Our retail store, Casa 'La Paz' Plant & Book Store, is located on our nursery grounds and is open to the general public. We have landscape friendly plants and books on display for the gardener and homeowner. Customers who discover the nursery for the first time are delighted by the natural setting and enlightened with the information that greets them when they make the trip out the Ortega Highway. For over thirty years, Tree of Life Nursery has been an advocate for a California that looks like it should—authentic California.
