How to use this site

Each post will be about a specific plant and will give as much information as possible about that plant. All posts will also all have tags containing information about the plant, which can be explained further in the specific posts, so you can search the site for the tags you want in your plant which I will explain below-
  Environment/Needs
Light- fullsun (6+ hours a day), partsun (anywhere in between), fullshade (near complete shade all day)
Water- dry (drought tolerant), moist (anywhere in between), wet (can grow in poorly drained soils)
pH- strongly acid (3.5-5), acid (5.1-6), garden (6.1-7) and alkaline (7.1-8.5)
Gives 
Form/Niche- Tree, shrub, bamboo, vine, herb, ground cover
Uses- edible, medicinal, nitrogen (helps fix nitrogen), accumulator (can gather and store nutrients/metals from the soil), nectary/pollinator (will attract pollinating insects), decorative (looks nice)
Taxonomy- tags will include common name, genus+species and family of each plant
Using these tags you can search for plants based on the physical constraints of your garden space and what you want out of your garden with more tags to be added for other plant characteristics like low maintenance if you don't want to spend a lot of time tending to your garden.  This way you can easily search for what you have and want and design a garden that suits you best.
