HALF MOON BAY, Calif. -- Yerba Buena Nursery recently moved from its historic Skyline location “down the hill” into Half Moon Bay on Highway 92. Now Coastside native plant gardeners won’t have to drive so far to get their fill of plant species from regions all of the state.

Yerba Buena Nursery is California's oldest retail nursery business specializing in California native plants and ferns. The retail nursery was established in 1960 by Gerda Isenberg, a pioneer in the movement to recognize the landscape value of native plants. The more than 600 species of plants will continue to be grown at the new location from seeds, cuttings and divisions.

After more than 50 years at their Skyline location in the Woodside area, selling California native plants and offering garden design and planning, Yerba Buena Nursery is officially in Half Moon Bay and will continue to offer a fine selection of California Native Plants as well as their fantastic garden consultation service and plant delivery, according to owner Kathy Crane.

"We moved because we want to be more acessible to our customers, and we're hoping to tie-in with the other nursery businesses in Half Moon Bay and allow people to visit many more nurseries at one time," said Crane.
