Encinitas Advances Native Plant Landscape Ordinance: What It Means for Homeowners

The City of Encinitas is taking an exciting step toward a more sustainable future by advancing a native plant ordinance that encourages California native landscaping, water conservation, and healthy local ecosystems.

At Kelly Green, we couldn’t be more excited. As a local company specializing in native landscape design in Encinitas and North County San Diego, we’ve always believed that beautiful landscapes can also be environmentally responsible.

Why Native Landscaping Matters

Choosing California native plants offers numerous benefits for homeowners:
