Flora Celtica is an international project based at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, documenting and promoting the knowledge and sustainable use of native plants in the Celtic countries and regions of Europe.

To date the project has focused on the use of native plants in Scotland. This includes research into traditional knowledge and contemporary uses of the native flora, both domestic and commercial. The results are being published in both scientific and public literature. Achievements to date include the Millennium-funded Flora Celtica - Scotland 2000 (1999-2001), whose products include a database, a touring exhibition, a schools roadshow and various publications.

The project has an ongoing education programme including a roadshow for primary schools. In order to help promote sustainable commercial development of native plant products, it has also developed the prototype Online Scottish Plant Use Forum.
