When needed, the deciduous tree pulls energy from its roots and up to the bare buds curled up tightly against a harsh environment

by
Photo through a 10x loupe of an almond vegetative bud bursting and leafing out. The brown bud scales have lengthened, providing a "barrel" for the leaves to quickly put on growth where they lengthen and widen while still held closely together and upright. The leaves of this one are now large enough that a couple centimeters show and are starting to flop out from the cylinder. They're also more green now and already photosynthesizing.

When needed, the deciduous tree pulls energy from its roots and up to the bare buds curled up tightly against a harsh environment...and the small leaves inside draw strength and burst through the bud scale barriers.

I sure hope they're covering accessible signage

by
Date: Thursday, January 30th, 2025 Time: 1:00 PM EST (10:00 AM PST) Title: Emerging Strategies in Public Garden Signage – A Case Study of 3 Projects Speakers: Tia Silvasy, Extension Agent II, University of Florida, Jeremy Joslin, Director of Education & Interpretation, Morton Arboretum, Jonah Trevino, PhD Student, Texas Tech University Effective signage is an essential tool toward enhancing a garden’s educational value and visitor experience. Understanding the various types, as well as challenges and opportunities, is key to creating an engaging and informative garden environment. Using three case studies, our webinar panel will highlight key considerations when designing signs with different goals in mind. Plant identification signage allows people to hone their horticulture identification skills and find new plants to add to their own landscapes and gardens. Interpretive signs facilitate educational opportunities for visitors by providing scientific knowledge in an easy-to-understand format. Lastly, wayfinding signage directs visitors to garden highlights and amenities. Planning ahead and anticipating signage challenges, especially when funds are limited, may help gardens effectively meet their signage needs. Click here to register for the January 30th webinar. After registration you will receive a separate email with the link to join the webinar.

I sure hope they're covering accessible signage. UC Davis Arboretum has no accessible signage at all. And this is a public institution! Not only are they subject to Section 504, but they should be accessible to the public funding them! #UCAccessNow #Botany @plantscience

The American Pomological Society is finally digitizing more of its journals

by
In mid-2024, following discussions between the Executive Committee, the Editorial Board Chair, and input from our Advisory Committee, we made the strategic decision to begin the digitalization process for the Journal of the American Pomological Society. With invaluable support from Martin Borbone, who has successfully assisted in transitioning the American Society for Horticultural Science journals to an online platform, we identified a vendor capable of managing data extraction and DOI assignment for each article. This initiative will ensure that all past and future journal issues and articles are available online, enhancing search engine indexing and discoverability in perpetuity. In conjunction with the digitization efforts, we have decided to transition all Journal of the American Pomological Society articles to an open access model. As part of this shift, we will discontinue the print version of the journal beginning in 2025. We are confident that these changes will significantly improve accessibility to the high-quality research published by our authors, while also ensuring the long-term sustainability of the journal.

The American Pomological Society is finally digitizing more of its journals.
