Native Plants
Q. Who is Mr. Smarty Plants?
A: There are those who suspect Wildflower Center volunteers are the culpable and capable culprits. Yet, others think staff members play some, albeit small, role. You can torture us with your plant questions, but we will never reveal the Green Guru's secret identity.
Did you know you can access the Native Plant Information Network with your web-enabled smartphone?

Title: Native Plants for New England
Answered by: Stephen Brueggerhoff
QUESTION:
Can you assist me in finding more information on flowers and plants in Massachusetts and New England?ANSWER:
I recommend browsing on-line through our Native Plants Database, a service of our Native Plant Information Network, to research plants by growth form, growing conditions and distribution. You might also want to visit the New England Wildflower Society website to discover the wealth of resources available in your own neck of the woods.
