AVL - Gardening and Horticulture Screencast
The name of this resource is Gale Onefile - Garden and Horticulture. The focus of this database is to provide quality resources to those with an interest in gardening and horticulture. There are several features this database has to offer, such as: magazine excerpts, academic journals, newspapers, and even images to help you better identify your plants. I think this would be a really great resource for agriculture classes. The recommended age group for this resource could be anywhere from 10-100. I would personally use this resource in my future job as a way for students to learn about the meaning behind specific flowers, as Shakespeare uses different flowers throughout his works to bring an even deeper meaning to literature. I could even use this resource to help decorate my classroom to give it a more "earthy" feel. For example, the magazine article I pulled up my video would be a great place to start to help design floral arrangements for my classroom.
Lacey, I like this database. I am not a green thumb so this database would be very helpful to me. I like how it is easy to search for information just by putting in specific flower or plant and it brings up information to help you take care of that plant/flower. I will definitely remember to use this database when I try to plant flowers soon.
