Web Scout
Gardening for the Community
By Marcia Koth de Paredes

Everyone who gardens at home or helps a school or public organization garden is improving the healthful quality of the community environment. This WebScout reports a selection of links for home, school and public gardening that show how much Internet can do to encourage gardeners in different ways.

Next month will provide portals to plant descriptions and images for those who want more detail.
