Websites for Nurserymen ?? Ted
Bilderback Computers, websites and e-mail may not be for everybody, but if you are willing to try it, there is a lot of information about anything you can think of on the internet; including lots of information on horticulture, nurseries and nursery suppliers, associations and agencies important to the nursery industry, newletters, magazines and university educational materials. The internet has the most current information about nearly any topic and is increasing in websites and users at a phenomenal rate. For information about horticulture or nurseries you can choose your favorite search engine such as Yahoo, InfoSeek, WebCrawler, Excite Lycos and several others. If you put in words or phrases such as: nursery associations, or horticulture courses or nursery and landscape businesses ,the search will reveal several pages of websites. The websites and email addresses that I am including here are ones that I have found as I have read electronic newsletters and from other various e-mail messages I have received. Generally these are non-commercial websites including nursery associations and societies, government agencies, universities, electronic newsletters and magazines, with a few other interesting websites thrown in. My lists are not intended to be all inclusive so I hope no one is upset if an important website has been left off. Just drop me a note (my e-mail address is included) and I will add it to my list. There are also many, many commercial nurseries with websites, as well as horticulture and nursery supply vendors and garden centers. Many nurseries provide availability lists of their inventories as well as interesting anecdotes and a history of the business. I hope my lists prove to be useful. I tried to include websites that you might not have considered but will enjoy or decide you really need to visit occasionally. Click here for a PDF document containing many of these websites.
