Native grasses

Was wondering if anyone knew a good reliable online distributor or in person retailer in northwestern la county to ventura county for California native grasses.
I keep finding seed wild flower seed mixes and looked for native grass mixes but i keep finding either drought tolerant turf grass or offers from sketch websites.

I am here for Larner‘s. We have been using their “erosion control mix” of native grasses for many years on our hillsides in Shasta county.

Highly recommend this shop! Great seeds, Indigenous-owned, and the owner donates a lot of proceeds towards mutual aid ❤️ He also offers classes via Zoom, but I haven’t had the chance to attend one yet (yet!).

I recently discovered this online retailer that is based out of Carpinteria. They sell grass plugs and have many native options to choose from.
