Native Plant Resources
Straight-species native plants support pollinators and wildlife, increase biodiversity, provide valuable habitat, and are often more drought-tolerant than common non-native landscape plants.
Why We Choose Native Plants
Learn about the ecological benefits of planting species native to Massachusetts and New England.
Keystone Plants by Ecoregion.
Keystone plants are native plants that are critical to local food webs and support many wildlife species throughout their life cycles. Keystone designations in this catalog are based on research by Dr. Doug Tallamy and the National Wildlife Federation’s Keystone Native Plants program.
Plants for At-Risk Pollinators.
Plants highlighted by Dr. Robert Gegear’s research as particularly valuable for declining native pollinator species.
