All Rights Reserved. For example, the New Ornamentals Society has study groups covering dogwoods, junipers, and yarrow. Members of the study group communicate more frequently among each other by letter, email, phone, website addresses, and hopefully in person. Trading plants, organized garden tours, and co-authoring publications are planned. In other cases, study groups will be liasons to other well-established societies, sharing resources between our sites and databases.
Personal communication is a primary goal of the groups.
We also hope to encourage individuals in writing books or articles where such would be valuable to the public. A wide range of options beyond the existing NOD II format are in the works. Compiling and updating a current list of mursery sources and offering these in NOD II format. Preparing articles for the New Ornamentals Journal on their particular specialty. These include topics on evaluation, breeding, exploration, nomenclature, genetics, and identification.
