When to consider something planted cultivated or wild

General

I haven’t done much with plants either observing or identifying as that is not my strong point. Over the last several years, I have been putting more and more native prairie plants in my yard and than basically leaving them to their own devices outside of an occasional burn or mow. Are those wild, or captive/cultivated?

A similar question, I work for a conservation district, and when restoring land, we put in seed mixes, and possibly plant shrubs and trees. Are plants in a current restoration considered wild, or captive/cultivated?

This has been discussed extensively on the forum, so I’m going to close this topic. Here are other topics about cultivated plants: https://forum.inaturalist.org/search?q=cultivated

The FAQ about captive/cultivated also has specific examples: https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/help#captive
