I've already been browsing your homepage. It is a very useful site, and good arrangement too.

Cold hardiness is a major concern over here and your web site is an invaluable source of information .. in cooler areas than the [french] riviera.

I checked out your site last night and spent about an hour and a half surfing the links. I came across lots of very interesting and useful information. Thanks!!!! You can be sure I'll be adding a link from my page to yours.

If you like to push the limits of gardening, check out the Cool TropiX. It is awesome!

I wanted to thank you for provided such a useful link page for the USDA zones, here in the US and worldwide. The bonsai mailing list often has questions about species hardiness, from places I can hardly find on the map, much less pronounce correctly! So thanks for helping us fill these questions...

My compliments and appreciation for this website...it certainly is a boon for those of us who 'insist'on growing the 'ungrowable'for our growing zones.

I think that your site is the best on the web for cold hardy palms. You really take advantage of the unique properties of the internet. Your interactive cold rating database showcases how unique the internet is by allowing individual feedback to dynamic data. Also you have hyperlinks to people's sites from all over the world. The fact that lots of data hasn't been created by you, but has been selected by you, so that others can come to this one site that acts as a repository of high quality information..

Thanks for putting so much great info together on one site I have sent many there and use it alot myself.

This auction thing is great, it is just what we need to spread the seeds where they can be grown and enjoyed by more and more people.
Mark, southern Maryland , 11/27/99

 
It's exactly the type of information I need. So many of the sites I've encountered have been over-complicated. Nature, as a rule, really isn't that complicated. We humans tend to make it so! Thanks so much. It's time to "get sprouting".

You have done a great service for the hardy palm cause with your site. I have been working with hardy palms for years and have learned much through trial and error. The internet has been a great tool for sharing my knowledge from all these years of plant trials. I think I have one of the largest established collections of hardy palms in inland zone 7a. Your site has let me share this information with these people.
Thank You Very Much for Your Work,

We believe in pushing the limits of hardiness wherever possible and have found this site to be of invaluable assistance in our quest to grow palms everywhere. The advanced search section, is also excellent.

Your website has been a great help in deciding what cycads to try. It is VERY useful to see what the lowest minimums have been for each species. It has been my benchmark for when to cover up different species when cold is approaching. It has been a great help to me.
Keep up the good work!
