Indiana Native Plant Finder Database

Diane Turner - Conservation Technician and Outreach Assistant ​

The Indiana Native Plant Finder is a valuable database tool will help you choose garden-worthy Indiana native plants that fit your site and support pollinators. Originally focused on garden-worthy Indiana native plants and their relationships to pollinators, this database has grown to include many Indiana native species, including those that are wind pollinated.

​The aim for this database is to provide gardeners, landscapers, restoration specialists, botanizers, school children, and the interested public with a reliable source of information about plants native to Indiana and photos showcasing their beauty. 

The Native Plant Database provides the following filters to help with your needs. 
          plant type                                       pollinator type
