美国Hansen西北乡土植物数据库（The Wild Garden, 原名Wallace W. Hansen Northwest Native Plants）位于美国俄勒冈州，是一个致力于介绍太平洋西北地区（Pacific Northwest）乡土植物的非营利性信息资源网站。该网站由Jennifer Rehm创建并维护，其前身是Wallace W. Hansen经营的乡土植物苗圃，2011年苗圃关闭后，Jennifer决定将网站转化为非营利的乡土植物知识库，以保存和传播Wallace一生积累的乡土植物知识。
丰富的乡土植物资源
网站收录了大量适用于美国西北部庭园和景观的乡土植物信息，包括详细的植物列表、植物特征、生长习性、栽培要点等。用户可以根据气候区域（climate zone）搜索适合本地条件的乡土植物，帮助园艺爱好者做出适合的种植选择。
免费图片库与电子杂志
网站提供了超过26,000张西北乡土植物的高质量图片，均采用Creative Commons（知识共享）许可，任何人都可以免费下载使用，条件是注明”The Wild Garden, www.nwplants.com”的摄影师署名。此外，网站还出版了《Northwest Native Plant Journal》（西北乡土植物杂志）的多期电子版本，用户可以在线阅读、下载或打印。
网站-到-图书项目
Jennifer Rehm目前正进行”Website-2-Book”项目，计划将网站上的所有内容整理成一本大型书籍，提供印刷版和电子书版本，预计在她76岁生日前完成。在图书出版前，网站将持续作为免费资源为园艺爱好者服务。

The Wild Garden (formerly Wallace W. Hansen Northwest Native Plants) is a non-profit native plant information resource website based in Oregon, USA. Founded by Jennifer Rehm to preserve the extensive native plant knowledge accumulated by Wallace W. Hansen, the website focuses on Pacific Northwest native plants suitable for gardens and landscapes. Originally a native plant nursery that closed in 2011, the site has transformed into an ever-expanding non-profit repository of information about plants native to the Pacific Northwest.
Extensive Native Plant Resources
The website features a comprehensive plant database with detailed information on Pacific Northwest native plants, including plant characteristics, growing habits, and cultivation tips. Users can search for plants suitable for their specific climate zone, making it easier to select appropriate native species for their gardens and landscapes.
Free Photo Library and E-Magazine
The Wild Garden offers an extensive library of over 26,000 photographs of Pacific Northwest native plants, all available under Creative Commons licenses. Users can freely download these images for any purpose, provided they credit “The Wild Garden, www.nwplants.com”. The website also publishes multiple issues of the Northwest Native Plant Journal, an electronic magazine that users can read online, download, or print.
Website-2-Book Project
Jennifer Rehm is currently working on the “Website-2-Book” project, converting the website’s vast content into a comprehensive book available in both print and ebook formats. The project is expected to be completed before her 76th birthday. Until the book is published, the website will continue to serve as a free resource for gardening enthusiasts.
