When I was asked to recommend a few Web gardening sites, it was like trying to eat only one potato chip. My site "My Garden" http://www.halpc.org/~trobb/horticul.html contains links to well over 200 pages selected from the thousands of gardening sites available, so it's already been whittled down. But, if forced, I'll select the following:
http://phylogeny.arizona.edu/BTA/btsa.html Boyce Thompson Southwestern Arboretum America's oldest and most spectacularly situated botanical garden, founded in the roaring 1920's near Superior, Arizona, just outside the metropolitan Phoenix area. Take a cyberwalk through this lovely arboretum.
http://www.gardening.com Gardening.com claims to have the best plant search database on the Web and conducts reviews of quality gardening sites.
http://www.xtra.co.nz/content/lifestyle/garden_diary/current /index.html Mark E's Edible Garden is in New Zealand and his wonderful gardening experiences with his small daughter Holly make up one of the most delightful sites that I've found on the Web.
http://www.mobot.org/welcome.html Missouri Botanical Garden is dedicated to collecting and classifying the world's endangered and disappearing plant species.
http://www.mc.edu/~nettles/rofaqtop.html The Rose Page is a compilation of questions and answers that have appeared in the Usenet Newsgroup rec.gardens.roses on the Internet, and other articles that regular contributors to the newsgroup have written.
http://pathfinder.com/VegnCgUAuHkwWy6j/vg/TimeLife /CG/vgsearch.html Time Life Electronic Encyclopedia. This searchable database will eventually contain more than 2,000 species selected for general use in North American horticultural practice.
