natural capital Plant Database

Life honouring permaculture website.

Permaculture Plant Database for Ecological Design In 2001 Paula Westmoreland started designing and developing the Natural Capital plant database with the intent of creating a "living knowledge tool" to assist people in creating polycultures, guild designs, and testing the results. The initial focus was on plants adaptable to colder climates. To that end, the database contains the following information:

Plant Selections (Alphabetical listings of with linked data files) Plant Searches by Niche (Tolerances, Behaviors, Ecological Functions, and Human Uses) Natural Associates (Native Plant Communities and Natural Polycultures)
