Welcome to Delta Rising’s Resilience Nursery, a community-rooted growing project dedicated to nurturing healthy plants, nurturing ecosystems, and supporting resilient gardens across Orange County. We specialize in four categories: native, drought tolerant, pollinator friendly, and kitchen garden plants – grown organically (but not yet certified) and locally nurtured with care, knowledge, and experience by volunteers. These collections support gardeners searching for California native plants near me, drought-resistant plants in Orange County, pollinator plants for bees and butterflies, and organic edible garden starters.

Whether you’re a home gardener, a landscaper, a school garden coordinator, or someone looking to bring life into your outdoor space, our nursery exists to make resilient planting accessible, affordable, and meaningful. It’s a wonderful time of year to bring joy to others by nurturing blossoms, hummingbirds, and butterflies around your peeps as well.
