Introduction

The Plant Guide contains information about native plant species suitable for planting in Minnesota and non-native species that don't belong in our natural shoreland.

The Plant Guide is intended for use by property owners, nursery and landscape professionals, and natural resource professionals.

While it is a technical reference, the Plant Guide contains practical features designed to support shoreline restoration projects.


"...The shoreline provides a home for so many,
with sedges and reeds growing along the shore.
There wildlife can live and flowers abundant,
the beauty is awe, who would want more?
Oh, singing birds and calling loons, you're what Im looking for.
The shoreline is a home for you when we take care of it more..."
