Natural Capital

The Natural Capital Plant Database is a repository of temperate climate plant information for ecological design. It has a subscription model that gives programmatic access to the database. After you register, add your credentials to the .permaculture configuration file in your home directory:

nc-username: <my username>
nc-password: <my password>

Where <my username> and <my password> should be replaced with your actual username and password.

Alternatively, you can provide the password via a file, which is useful for Docker secrets:

nc-password-file: /run/secrets/nc_password
