The Sun shone

We had a lovely warm weekend to close out this unseasonably snowy January. Gardeners are beginning to flip through catalogs in anticipation of the planting season which is about to begin. In GALILEO, the Garden, Landscape & Horticulture Index
provides access to articles about gardens and plants, including topics such as horticulture, botany, garden and landscape design & history, ecology, plant and garden conservation, garden management, and horticultural therapy. A highlight of the database is its focus on environmentally sustainable horticultural and design practices.

This index and abstract product is designed for gardening enthusiasts, professionals, and students of horticulture and of garden and landscape design & history. It covers more than 300 core serial titles that include general gardening titles of national, international, and regional interest, and titles devoted to specialty gardens and plant groups.

You may find Garden, Landscape & Horticulture Index by going to GALILEO, selecting Databases A-Z, selecting G, then selecting Garden, Landscape & Horticulture Index.

Garden, Landscape & Horticulture Index is an Ebsco database. As the title implies, it is predominately an index to articles. More than a few articles appear with the purple Find It button noting which library has the journal. You are able to limit your search to full text which provides you with the entire article right away!

Libraries may borrow articles through Inter Library Loan. It takes two to three weeks to fulfill an ILL request.

Search Garden, Landscape & Horticulture Index and begin dreaming of the bounty the earth will provide with just a little effort on your part.
