Open 8:30-12pm M-Th, and 8:30-2pm Friday. Matilija is the best native plant nursery in Southern California! Wonderful owner and staff, beautiful nursery in Moorpark off Balcom Canyon. I've been going here for several years and I have been 100% successful with their plants. The selection is incredible and they are lovingly cared for. It is hard to find native Milkweed for Monarchs, but they have lots of narrow-leaf milkweed (Asclepias fascicularis) and showy milkweed (Asclepias speciosa) for your baby butterflies. Updated 2025 to include Balloon Milkweed from South Africa (Gomphocarpus physocarpus), this variety does well in late autumn and winter.

Wonderful nursery with a huge selection of native plants. The owner, Bob, was really helpful in showing me around and discussing garden design ideas. He knows details about every single plant there and how best to care for them.
