| The Arboretum plays a central role in the documentation and protection of our native flora through its research activities and educational programs.
Follow the links below to see current information on native plants. Many of these plants are highly recommended for creating natural landscapes which contribute to the biological diversity of the island. Be sure to avoid using plants that are considered rare and endangered, and never dig plants from the wild!
This page will continue to expand as more photos and information is added.
In addition to this information be sure to visit our Vineyard Flora web page to learn more about the indigenous flora of Martha's Vineyard.
Our newsletter, Meristems, contains accessible articles on our natural flora in the section entitled, From the Vineyard Flora. The most recent Fall 2005 edition includes a write up and photos of many of our most common and beautiful native grasses. The article is available as a downloadable Adobe Acrobat file below.
