best feats for druids?

If you're going to get heavy armor, consider multiclassing. Armor proficiency is useless unless you're in humanoid form. If you're going to be in humanoid form, picking up martial weapons is a nice idea. Picking up a level of a fighter class/prestige class that gives martial weapons and heavy armor proficiency can be a nice bonus, even though it slows your spellcasting down by a level.

Ah, but what about Animal Growth?

Not necesserly. You won't ever be transform, so you don't want huge penalty to your attack while you are in heavy armor, and if you transform, and you have a WILD armor, you had the bonus of the armor to your transform form, that's why it is so interesting to take it, buit I would take other feats first, as you can live with a dragonhide breastplate easlity too.

Great information from everyone. Much obliged.
I have decided to start with Scribe Scroll at 1st level; Natural Spell is definitely on the list.
Thanks!

Uhhhh ... it is bad for your cholesterol.
I blanked on it for some reason. Oh well.
It is a fairly short duration spell. Druids don't get too many spells, so using it consistently will deplete your spell reserves. Being Gargantuan for a combat or two is a possibility, but being gargantuan for a majority of your battles may be difficult (depending upon the campaign).

Scrolls, much like every woman that ever turned me down, are cheap. Buy them if there is a market for them in your area. Any druid can cast any druid spell, so finding a scroll of the right spell is not too difficult if you can find any druid with the right feat.
Just my humble opinion.

Here's my suggestions:
Natural Spell, of course, as has been mentioned numerous times. I also like to combine this with Eschew Materials so you don't have to worry about material components. I don't think this is as much as a problem in 3.5 though... also, in 3.0 you have to have another metamagic feat to get Eschew Materials (you don't in 3.5). I took Extend Spell for my druid, as it's great with the buff spells.
One feat I took that worked well was Faster Healing out of Masters of the Wild. It increases your natural healing rate. To see the use of this, remember that when you use wild shape, you heal as if you'd rested for a day. My druid rarely needed to get outside healing.
