Half Moon Bay is a great place to see native plant diversity. Many visitors come to the beach and discover our beautiful dune and bluff-top array of hardy plants and wildflowers that can also be grown in their gardens. Learn to recognize the native plants that grow here and bring the wild garden into your own garden. Yerba Buena Nursery also has a home in Half Moon Bay selling native plants.
