The baseline case is supposed to represent conventional landscaping choices for the region, according to the LEED Reference Guide.A non-native plant could be part of the baseline if it's conventionally used there in landscaping.

We have a project that is a zero lot line and because of the shape of the building it will be impossible to have a greenroof. However there could be some vegetation inside the building that since the lower lever will be retail. Can this type of vegetation be considered so we can comply with the WEC1?

David, read about planters in the question just above this one, and in the Checklists tab.
