From Righteous Might:
"You gain DR 5/evil (if you normally channel positive energy) or DR 5/good (if you normally channel negative energy). At 15th level, this DR becomes 10/evil or 10/good (the maximum)."
Does the druid normally channel positive energy? No, okay, so they don't get DR/evil. Do they normally channel negative energy? No, so they don't get DR/good.

The Plant domain is an allowed domain for druids.

That's a bit harsh, in my opinion.
Don't you think this is an inadvertent omission rather than a deliberate limitation?
It seems very uncharacteristic to make one of the two domain spells for Growth, which is one of the few domains a Druid can take, be limited in this way.
I would have thought there should be a Druid exception as well.

"Growth Subdomain
Associated Domain: Plant."
"Nature Bond (Ex): At 1st level, a druid forms a bond with nature. This bond can take one of two forms. The first is a close tie to the natural world, granting the druid one of the following cleric domains: Air, Animal, Earth, Fire, Plant, Water, or Weather."

Richard, I agree with you, it is probably from oversight rather than intentional. Maybe in the next errata they can include that druids must choose "positive or negative" and stick with their choice for the spell. That's how I would handle it anyway. If they later multi-classed cleric, that choice would also apply.

They still get the other not insignificant benefits of this spell. They can cast this spell in Wildshape with the appropriate feat. Druids are not as focused with the powers of Good and Evil as clerics are, so I think it's a fair cop that in this case, they don't get the DR benefits either.
Not all domains, not all powers are equal. You can be free to houserule it as been suggested in this thread but as the spell text formulates the DR as the result of an IF/THEN formula. Druids fail the IF part, so they don't get the THEN. Neither does any other caster who has access to this spell and not channel.

This is also something that needs clarifying, BTW.
Is it just the size change that doesn't work when you are polymorphed, or does the whole spell fail in its entirety?
If the former, is the size change just suppressed - so if you are no longer polymorphed but the spell is still in operation it then comes into effect?
