Plant Finder

The Plant Finder is a feature that connects hobbysists and businesses. Commercial members of the IWGS are given a special login to the IWGS Plant Database, which can be used to manage a stock list. When individuals visit the Plant Detail page of a certain plant, they can see which nursery or garden center offers this plant. A great way to promote your business!
