FLORAL NATIVE NURSERY was started in 1998 by Germain Boivin, a native of Quebec, Canada. When first traveling to California in 1991, Germain was amazed by the diversity, abundance, and beauty of California plant life.
A lover of plants, he realized the potential of a specialty nursery and started to experiment on California native plant propagation. With help from the California Native Plant Society, the International Plant Propagators Society, and professors at California State University Chico, Germain has become proficient in this field.
In 2012 Zeb Puterbaugh, Germain's step-son, who had been a long time employee, purchased the nursery. Germain continues to be an active part of the nursery. As we continue to produce the best native plants for all applications needed for our customers.
