Whether you are building a Japanese garden or prefer a native landscape, there are several local resources to help you besides the collection and assistance of the
Escondido Public Library.
Las Pilitas (The stream basins) is a nursery and a 5000+ page website that specializes in native plants. The
owners have years of experience from
Cal Poly SLO. They frequently have the ability to tell you whether a sprout is going to grow into a weed, tree, or flower.
Founded by a bequest of Ruth Larabee in 1957,
Quail Gardens is a 35-acre jewel in nearby
Encinitas. Membership benefits include admission to a pre-sale for the Fall Plant Sale, 10% discounts at seven local nurseries as well as their own, classes and events, and library borrowing privileges - an opportunity to learn much, much, more.
The palms of
Wilkens Nursery highlight thousands of xeriscape gardens in Escondido. Located at 13970 San Pasqual Rd., they have the products and the advice you need on
Arecaceae.

Quail Gardens - a nursery not specializing in attracting quail nor one founded by a person named Quail - has recently changed its name to the San Diego Botanical Garden. Their website is now http://www.sdbgarden.org/
