is devoted to spreading the word about the art and
science of horticulture and the joy of gardening. We
want to provide information and services that will help
you on your journey. |
 |
It
is time for your plant society, garden club or
small public garden to get onto the Web! We can help
you with an affordable and effective
website to fit
your needs for as little as $50 per year for our
single page option or only $150 per year for a five
page/section standard website.
|
 |
Our
searchable database contains links or
information for several thousand
public gardens,
arboreta and conservatories across the world. We
have convenient indexes by country, state and types
of gardens.
More detailed information on a few hundred gardens
from eleven countries is included in our Gardens of
the World section. Mr PGC himself has visited these
gardens and provides personalized commentary about
each.

Want to find a
local plant society or garden club?
Our online
database contains over 3,500 listings from
through the U.S. and Europe. If you would like to
add your group to the listing, just click here.
|
 |
Also in our
database are thousands of listings for
sources of all manner of
horticultural and gardening
information. We rely heavily on university sources
but have also included other types of sources for
your enjoyment.
In
addition, we have dozens of short articles and
factsheets on many, many gardening and related
topics by our own Mr PGC. We call them
Plantus factoidus for Gardeners.

 |
The number one selling perennial species in recent
years and a personal favorite of Mr PGC, is the
Hosta. We offer the
Hosta Helper as a source of
information on the selection, care and cultivation
of hostas. We include a database with hostas divided
by categories such as type of variegation, size,
flower color, etc.

Water in the landscape adds a
new dimension to the beauty and tranquility of the
area. We have included information on how to design,
construct and maintain a
backyard pond including
water plants, fish and surrounding landscaping.
|
 |
Ever wonder where plants get
their names? Well some of them are named for the
people who "discovered" them or who were friends of
those plant people. We have included a list of many
of these people with a little biographical note on
each.
|
 |
If it is part of the garden but
isn't currently alive, it is called
hardscape.
Paths, statuary, fountains, benches, structures and
much more fall into this category. Each piece
becomes an element of the design of your garden.

Have fun with our site and let
us know if we can help you with anything. We would
love to get you on board with a website for your
group or garden!
