I’ve seen 2 new awesome resources pop up in the comments this week (I haven’t added them to the list yet my personal life is chaos right now). I’d love to know if you guys have come across any other books, websites, videos etc that you find very useful and informative to add to the list.
Here is the current list of resources.
I’d love to get as many resources as possible outside the US.

For trees my all time favorite is the Arbor Day Foundation’s Tree City USA Bulletin series. The first 10 or so is an amazing general overview of tree husbandry and biology, with much of the rest being about developing roads/buildings/developments with trees in mind.
OMG how do I not have this in there yet?? I guess it’s the so obvious you forget it exists. Thank you!
Printed some of these off at work earlier, thank you! I’m just dipping my toes in permaculture, trying to gather resources and information. But I’m not a gardener and this basic stuff is very helpful as well! I didn’t know the majority of that about properly trimming trees, I look forward to doing it right and having a nice, shady, healthy, productive yard :)
https://www.floraweb.de/ (DE) - Information on more than 4000 species of ferns and flowering plants growing in the wild in Germany. https://neobiota.bfn.de/ (DE) - Information portal of the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation on alien and invasive species in Germany. https://www.nabu.de/umwelt-und-ressourcen/oekologisch-leben/balkon-und-garten/tiere/insekten/22629.html (DE) - Insect friendly native plants to plant in your garden as recommended by a nature conservation NGO.
Unfortunately I can’t help with non-US resources but here are two excellent state level ones I’ve seen: https://www.fnps.org/plants for Florida and Calscape.org for California.
Especially helpful since most resources online have a northeast or Midwest focus I’ve found.
I know we have the Cali one but I’ll have to double check if the other is in there as well. Thanks!
Edit: Apparently I did have the other link too haha
Hi greatwhiteBuffalo41, Thanks for this great list!
I don’t actually see calscape.org(a project of cnps.org) on the list, even though your reply suggests it is there.
Would you consider calflora.org what grows here?

It is great for creating hyperlocal plant lists in California.
ps am noob, idk how to dm
Sweden:
https://artportalen.se/ (SV) Portal of species. It includes animal species. Users can report observations. It’s not restricted to native, only present in the country, but it will indicate if the species are native.
https://pratensis.se/ (SV) You can order Swedish meadow native seeds and plants.
Here is the current list of resources available!
For Maryland:
nice. i just stumbled on this community while looking for some ‘ornamental’ grasses to plant this month…reducing my lawn one chunk at a time.
I can’t help with outside of US but Wild Ones and Master Gardener programs are excellent resources.
Yesss! One of my Reddit mods is a wild ones chapter leader.
Screenshot this for after work, thanks!
