Seed farm is helping Irvine Ranch Conservancy restore Orange County’s wildlands

There is a place in Irvine where the wild plant life of the region – the native California Poppies, the Black Sage, the Cobweb Thistle – grows in uniform rows, stretching across a field in perfect stripes of vibrant colors.
In the background of this orderly tableau are the hills and canyons of the Santa Ana Mountains, a disorderly chaos of greens, browns, purples, oranges and all the colors only Mother Nature can blend together.
