We are currently transitioning to a new and improved Professional Education Portal, officially launching very soon. The new portal is designed to enhance your learning experience and foster a vibrant professional community centered on California native plants. It will serve as your digital classroom and resource hub, with access to course materials, and tools for ongoing connection, collaboration, and professional growth.
