When I move to CA I want to start a bird garden. It'll have baths, feeders and bird friendly plants. But one problem is what plants do I use? I kind of would like them to be CA natives. Plants for Hummingbirds, and plants for seed eaters. I would love any answer!

I'm planning on planting Sunflowers. . . so that's one.

Thanks, JB

I have an outstanding book of native CA plants for butterflies and birds. Tonight I will add on to whatever people come up with here (I'm at work). Where are you moving to?

Southern CA, like near-ish to San Diego.

Could you give me the name of the book?

[spookyjimjams]

Actually, it is a publication made by the Aptos Nursery in Aptos CA. I picked it up from a used book sale. It's not something you can find on the web, more like a huge pamphlet. But I will get the list of plants for you.

K, thanks! I really appreciated it!

I was going to list what we have, but you are better off knowing what is suitable for California. If you want to ever join a forum about native plants and such, WildlifeGardeners.org is a good one.

My mom is looking at this site to approve it. . .
