Time for a New Website Design for 2019!

The Florida State Horticultural Society announces its brand new website design, completely reimagined from the ground up to provide better services and support for our members and the horticultural community. The previous site served us well since 2013, but it was just time to get a facelift. We updated the core technology, and made the site easier to navigate and use. Also, we no longer require a user name and password to access site features.

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

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:

  • Keeps you abreast of important advances in Florida horticulture
  • Provides resources to connect employers and talented job seekers
  • Provides a wide variety of information presented at the annual meeting
  • Publishes the annual Proceedings of the Florida State Horticultural Society
  • Publishes regular FSHS newsletters with feature articles, botany facts, places of interest, events, and more

Feel free to contact us with your comments and questions, including your ideas about how the site is working for you. We hope you enjoy our new site, and we all hope it’ll be a great way for us to keep in better touch with each other!

New Report Format – Scientific Notes

Scientific Notes are brief 700-word reports for publication in the Proceedings of the Florida State Horticultural Society.

The FSHS this season introduces a new scientific reporting format. The idea is that an author found something interesting and will publish a longer refereed paper later. In the case of an Extension author, this could be for a program that may be of interest to other people.

We look forward to receiving scientific reports to publish in the next edition of our Annual Proceedings!
