The Florida State Horticultural Society announces its brand new website, completely reimagined from the ground up to provide better services and support for our members and the horticultural community. Our new website, located at fshs.org, includes a new member management platform about which we’re especially excited. Current members should have already received an e-mail with instructions concerning their new username and password.

We’ve provided a brand new look, and made it easier to find our products and services. The new website brings:

• Web technology that is up-to-date with current Internet standards
• Faster, better member communication
• Job and resume posting services
• Integration with social media outlets like Facebook and Twitter
• Easy-to-navigate resources, such as our annual proceedings dating back to 1888
• Improved search capabilities
• On-the-fly compatibility with mobile devices
• Website subscriptions

Our new site is the result of our FSHS staff and board working closely with the designers every step of the way to ensure that the needs of the organization and its members are met.

The Florida State Horticultural Society is one of the oldest horticultural societies in the United States, established in 1888, consisting of horticultural and agricultural industry professionals, Master Gardeners, researchers and Extension faculty, students, and gardening enthusiasts. The society:
