Nova Scotia Native Plants

Nova Scotia’s coastal headlands and tidal marshes support seaside goldenrod, beach pea, and marsh grasses. Inland Acadian forests feature red spruce, sugar maple, and eastern hemlock, with an understory of ferns and wildflowers. In spring, mayflower and blue flag iris add splashes of color, while autumn brings the vibrant reds of sumac and maples. Wild blueberries thrive in sunny openings, feeding wildlife and people alike.
