Native Plant Database

Linking to the Native Plants Database

It is possible to perform a query of the Native Plants Database from another website and link to the results. This is accomplished by composing a URL link that passes a query statement from your web site to ours. If the query returns more than one match, a list is presented with links to individual records.

Here are some examples on how to create a link (URL) on your web site that will display plant information from the Native Plants Database. Simply copy the code into your HTML document and modify the query to suit your needs.
