Plants for Ecosystems - Plants for Insects - Plants for Habitat - Plants for Themselves - Plants for Joy

Flora Maine specializes in growing the plants that have grown here since time immemorial. These plants, the foundation of our local ecosystems, have spent millennial in relationship with insect and other animal species, creating the interlocking web of relationships that make life possible. As ecological horticulturists and true plant nerds, we study the plant communities that comprise the many ecosystems across Maine— and the ecoregions that encompass them—creating plantings that knit plants together like Earth might. We embrace the principals of naturalistic plant design, combined with a Doug Tallamy inspired focus on the hyper local and "keystone" species, supporting the most life. Dry or wet, sun or shade, there's a native plant community for that. We're here to help reclaim habitat lost to traditional horticulture, lawns, and beyond, through nuanced plant selection and vibrant plants that create beauty, habitat, and healing for all animals— including humans—who encounter them.
