Phil Hello, You may be interested is viewing the exciting new changes on the World-Wide Web page at the Missouri Botanical Garden. The Missouri Botanical Garden World-Wide Web now includes over 600 HTML pages and over 800 images on a dedicated server in St. Louis. Users can see dozens of JPEG and GIF images of the garden, of exotic flowering plants, and of botanists working in the field. The Web also allows access to a vast storehouse of scientific information about plants. Part of an ongoing commitment to serve the public, the Garden Web has delivered over 250,000 files since coming online a year ago.
Visitors can take a virtual tour, learn what's currently in bloom, and learn about special events.
Many Garden staff members currently contribute to the Web, which grows steadily. To support its growing Web resources, the Garden has upgraded its Internet connection to T1 and purchased additional hardware.
