About this database
.
A number of new Ideas Genie users enquired if I could help migrate their existing plant databases into Ideas Genie. Databases with 400 to 2700
plants, mostly in Access and Excel, were successfully processed. The users gave me permission to roll the plants listings into a common, or Master Database. Hence, in the main, this
database contains plants actually grown by Ideas Genie users.
The origin of these plants is maintained. Hence, YOU can click on a plant name and a list of gardeners who grow the plant
is displayed.
The photos in the database have been contributed by Gardeners from around the world.
Also, photos of private and public gardens in Ireland.
The most
significant plants in the photos have been identified (lassooed) and are listed in the database. As such, you can point to a plant in a photo and its name appears, demonstrating one of
the unique features of the software.
