A comprehensive guide to Maryland native plants targeted at commercial growers, but useful to others.
A guide for residents in the Piedmont Region (where Montgomery County is located) is expected by the end of summer 2025.

Although this guide does not have as many species as others, it is easy to search by light, moisture, and other specifications, for example, tall shrubs that grow in dry shade.

Descriptions of the almost 500 native plant species that Bona Terra sells. People who buy Bona Terra plants from FONTT in our biannual sales will find this catalog a useful complement to our order form.
