Native plants have an advantage for your garden. They have adapted specifically for your typical weather and climate. They often seed well too.

If you are on a southern border of a region, I suggest also downloading the pdf for the region south of you. As climate change accelerates, it will get more like places south.

Thanks for this! The North-East document covers Nova Scotia, where I am, so I downloaded it.

I will print it out and add it to my growing library of plant species books. I've been trying to buy such books specific to the area, also so that I know what wild edibles there are for foraging.
