3. Suppose you need to find a plant. Now you can just go to one website. Not only would you find suppliers, quantity available; but you could read reviews on the plants, the suppliers, get cultural information , see photographs and possibly watch a video on propagation.

4. Maybe you’re looking for a particular chemical, fertilizer, bird bath or just some new items to sell at your garden center. Just click on one site and see photos, read reviews, find suppliers from around the world.

17. Why Be On Another Social Network? You might be thinking, I’m already on Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter why be on another social network! I’m sure you are familiar with the analogy of a big fish in a little pond or a small fish in a big pond. Facebook has over 500 million accounts, why get lost in a big pond . Hort-Connect is dedicated to the horticulture industry, not open to everyone. So why not be a big fish in a little pond.
