Horticulture

August 1997

I attended the ASHS (American Society of Horticultural Sciences) annual meeting recently. One of the sessions was Computer Technology Applications in Extension Horticulture. There was discussion of several web sites related to horticulture. Neither I nor Michigan State University endorse these sites. Make your own judgements about usefulness.
