DesertStrawHouse Native Plant Nursery
Our nursery specializes in native plants that support wildlife while creating beautiful, water-wise landscapes. Nearly all of our plants are grown on-site using organic practices and adapted to the Coachella Valley and surrounding deserts. We believe native plants should be affordable and accessible to everyone, and we're committed to providing the guidance and resources you need to create habitat right in your own backyard.

Our Strawbale Home
We wanted to design our own home when I stumbled across this crazy way of building with straw bales. Intrigued by the idea, we began learning everything we could. What we discovered was an environmentally friendly, energy-efficient home that became the foundation for everything DesertStrawHouse is today.
