Welcome to our database of Maine native plants featured in the NGBH Garden in Blue Hill. We regularly update this collection with new plant profiles, photos, and observations from the NGBH Garden. The plant records are compiled by our dedicated volunteers and include details on plant taxonomy, characteristics, bloom times, seed collection periods, garden locations, and wildlife associations. Our goal is to create a comprehensive catalog of Maine native plants, providing valuable horticultural information tailored to the unique needs of our region.
