Open the company's page up and scroll to the bottom and click on " Edit this company's details" and you'll see where to check off the appropriate specializations.

I don't suppose I an ask for Plumeria and Adenium categories ?

I went back in and edited the company that I recommended so they will show up as 'seeds'; if I can do this, it must be easy!

Both added!

Good point. Think I may do some editing to better reflect the specialty items.

Please also clarify are we only providing info on sites that do mail order or cyber sales? If so I need to remove a couple.

The Green Pages supports every kind of gardening company. Just select the right type when you add it (mail order, local garden center, etc.)

If there is one that needs to be changed to a different type, give me a link to it and I'll change it.

I like the idea of having Tender Succulents, Hardy Succulents and Cactus. Each with it's own check box. Most of the hardy succulent nurseries I do business with don't do Cactus, so I feel uncertain about checking the Cactus and Succulents box.

Where does the type show up other than all purpose nursery ----I don't see a designation.???

Ok, I renamed "Succulents and Cactus" to just "Cactus" and I added "Succulents: Tender" and "Succulents: Hardy".

I am so happy. Going back to change update the nurseries. Thank you Dave.

Sorry to be dense but am I missing something how do I search only E-Commerce Companies vs local garden centers or do I only find that out when
I click on one?

It would be nice to be able to search for hosta & just E-Commerce Companies.
Also by location ie state or and city zip but now I am looking for the moon, stars and planets.

As soon as you click "The Green Pages", you should see a big text box named "Popular Categories", with different-sized names in blue.

I see this:
"Adeniums - All Purpose Nursery - Alpines - Annual Flowers - Bulbs - Cactus" ... and more

(P.S. I won't be able to reply back quickly because I'm about to lave work.)

Those all sound like great ideas Marilyn. I don't see the ability to search in that way. Maybe Dave is working on that new feature?

Rick ....But not everything is listed there. Neither is e-commerce Comapnies.

Right now only ecommerce companies have checkboxes for what they specialize in. The only way to find local garden centers is to just see them in the big list.

But VERY soon I will indeed have a special search where you can enter your location (zipcode, etc) and it'll find the garden centers and public gardens closest to you. Hint: add your local garden centers and display gardens now, so that when the feature is ready, others in your area can find them!

I was about to edit Johnnys Seeds to indicate that they had good selections of both vegetable seeds and plants (starts or seedlings, including grafted tomato seedlings).

Would it be desirable to break "vegetables" down into two categories?
- - Vegetable Seeds
- - Vegetable Plants (starts)

BTW, after thinking about it, I didn't want to list Johnnys as "specializing in" plants. They have a few plants of a few species, but page after page of seeds.

For now I'm thinking that often, when a site specializes in plants, they often only specialize in a few kinds (like peppers or tomatoes). So that's a good place to just leave a comment.

(It's nice to have the "Comment" category in addition to the full "Review".)

I think specializing in Vegetables is enough information and we don't need to break it down into plants vs. seeds. If we change our mind in the future it'll be simple enough to make the change.

Thanks Dave, will give you a few days to catch up. You are making this such a great feature, can't help but wanting more.
Will wait to see how it evolves.

Thanks
