This project gets updated “whenever I have time.” 👀
I often struggle to find or re-find the information (that I now have here on this dandy website), and I find myself having to visit these dozens of websites over-and-over-and-over again, so I have [with little apprehension] dedicated to consolidate and share my discoveries (and yours?) into this one website. So this West Coast Plant Project is my solution to simplify this part of life.
Sometimes what I find may not include 100% of the full picture of what works where and what doesn’t versus what someone else finds or thinks, so I invite you to feel free to send me information (with credible research) and I will deep dive it and add the information. I also am trying my best to keep crappy invasive species off of this website.
Some information that may be displayed is knowingly broad, borderline-useless content (Example “Bee” used under pollinator categories), but beeee 🐝🐝🐝 reassured that sections like those will be updated with specifics as I have time to do that and find relevant, trustworthy studies that provide more information (than the former study that has the aforementioned broad, borderline-useless content).
Information is intended to represent datasets available on the West Coast of Canada; outside data that is used is compared heavily to similiar datasets in this region. In addition to all of that good stuff - the structure of the tables under the search lists is also going to be reorganize in the future to improve ease and credibility, and then add more generators of different use types.
All generators are intended to be consolidated once data is compatible with eachother because.. garden plants and native plants shouldn’t be seperated and were never meant to be seperated.
