Our mission is to promote awareness, appreciation, and conservation
of Maryland's native plants and their habitats. We pursue our mission 
through education, research, advocacy, and service activities.

For Gardeners

A number of publications on our site will be useful for gardeners. These include the MNPS Gardener's Guidelines brochures.


The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Chesapeake Bay Field Office, and others have lists of native plants appropriate to your region.

We promote native plants sales when they occur in season; try to patronize them as much as possible; by creating demand for native plants, you can help ensure that these plants will be more widely available.

One of your best local resources for plant problems and gardening help is your local Cooperative Extension Service:

Other organizations and government agencies also have some gardening information:

Check out the Chesapeake Conservation Landscaping Council web site. They have brochures on conservation landscaping, and information on their annual conservation landscaping design contest.
