Using the Species Lists from the Database

The species lists that you generate from Evergreen's database are intended to help you get started. We recommend you use these lists as a starting point, and then take your list to a local native plant expert, grower, conservation authority, native plant society or field naturalist club for more detailed information about these species and their appropriateness for your local site conditions.

The Database is Still Growing

The Native Plant Database will continually be growing and getting refined as we receive feedback and information from you, the user, and our native plant reviewers.

The initial phase of this site contains information that allows you to search for native plant species by province. As new information is added you will be able to find native species specific to your ecozone, project type and site conditions.

The Native Plant Database is created by volunteers who do their best to add accurate information to the database. While most entries are accurate, errors may occur. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the information and we are not responsible for any errors in the information or for any adverse effects relating to the use of the plants or the information. You should seek medical advice or consult appropriate experts prior to relying on the information in the database. If you notice a problem with the database please let us know by sending an email to nativeplant@evergreen.ca so we can correct it.
