Take A Look Around The New GreenhouseGrower.com

GreenhouseGrower.com

I’M sometimes asked what role magazines will play in the future as the world becomes more technological. My belief is that magazines will likely have a place, but their role will be quite different.

If you think about it, technology is already changing the way we deliver information to you. For some of you, the magazine is still the first place you get your information from us. But, judging from the 20,000 people who receive our BenchRunner eNewsletter and the nearly 1 million page views we had on our website last year, the Web is the place Greenhouse Grower readers are going for their information first.

Because so many of you are invested in Greenhouse Grower online, we’ve invested in a brand-new website you can now check out at GreenhouseGrower.com. The new site is better designed to put the information you need to run your business right at your fingertips. To get you acclimated to the site, here are some of the some cool new things you’ll find there:

– New Navigation. The site’s improved navigation includes topic-focused sections to help you quickly drill down to subjects you’re looking for. Topic-specific sections include Varieties, Plant Culture, Crop Inputs, Structures & Equipment, Business Management, Top 100, Video and Greenhouse Grower’s new Grow Initiative. Fifteen popular genera, from begonia to verbena, will also get their own exclusive pages.
