Transparency and commercial relationships
Affiliate Disclosure
NativePlantIndex may earn compensation through certain advertising or affiliate relationships. This page explains how those relationships work and how they relate to our independent directory.
1. How Affiliate Links Work
Some pages on NativePlantIndex may contain affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and complete a qualifying purchase or action, we may receive compensation.
This compensation generally comes from the merchant or its affiliate program and does not necessarily increase the price you pay.
Affiliate relationships help support the research, maintenance, and operation of this independent directory.
2. Garden for Wildlife
NativePlantIndex has identified Garden for Wildlife as a potential affiliate partner relevant to native-plant gardening.
The merchant publishes a 10% commission rate. Its affiliate arrangement uses a partner and campaign-code mechanism rather than ordinary standard tracked links.
The program has service-area limitations and requires partner acceptance.
No Garden for Wildlife affiliate link will be published until acceptance has been confirmed in writing.
Any future placement will be clearly identified as an affiliate relationship. Availability and eligibility will depend on the merchant's applicable program terms.
3. Advertising
NativePlantIndex may display third-party advertising in the future, including advertising served through Google AdSense.
Advertising placements are separate from the nursery research and verification process. An advertisement does not mean that NativePlantIndex endorses the advertiser or its products.
Advertising does not determine which nurseries qualify for inclusion in the directory or how their published information is recorded.
4. Editorial Independence
Nursery listings are researched using information published by the nurseries themselves.
Affiliate relationships do not change our requirements for source URLs, checked dates, buying-method verification, plant-format classification, or regional specialization.
We do not classify a nursery as offering a particular plant format or buying method simply because doing so could create a commercial opportunity.
Commercial relationships do not guarantee inclusion, favorable placement, or editorial recommendations.
5. Your Purchasing Decisions
You are never required to use an affiliate link. You can visit a merchant directly and make your own purchasing decision.
Always review the merchant's current product information, ordering conditions, shipping restrictions, and return policies before purchasing.
NativePlantIndex is an independent directory, not a seller of the products or services offered by third-party merchants.
