• Question

  Would most "native to New England" (using a liberal definition of that term) plants be found on GoBotany? Would no invasive species be found on GoBotany? I ask because I would like to use GoBotany to distinguish between "native to New England" (probably found on GoBotany) and non native to New England plants (probably not found on GoBotany) to choose primarily native to New England plants for our front yard. Thanks for the great work!

  Answer

  Dear DRN, all plants that grow wild in New England (i.e., those that grow in the region outside of cultivation) are included on Go Botany. This means that native, non-native (and those non-natives that are invasive) are included. Let me know if you need anymore information.
