Directory updates
23rd April 2007
Members will have received their subscription invoices for 2007/8 along with a print out of their current entry in the
PlantNetwork Directory of Botanical Collections in Britain and Ireland.
There is no other single-source site on the Internet for so many details on plant collections in Britain and Ireland.
However, for just over half of the 140 entries, the last update is January 1999 - the publication of the book itself.
Don't disappoint your visitors by having out-of-date info on the web . . .
either mark your changes on the form, and post back to Matthew Jebb, or if you are not a PlantNetwork member, why not download an
electronic form in word, available here and submit your garden for free.
