With the increasing use of computers in the horticulture industry, advisory committees are recommending computer literacy training. Database management software is a tool students can use to enhance the learning of plants and obtain handson experience with computers. Students in an herbaceous plant materials course develop a plant database and create a companion flash card set from printed database records and pictures. Benefits of the project are: Improved memorization of plant information, enhanced information research skills, and use of a tool in later design activities. Other horticulturally related courses, including woody plant materials and pest management, can use the activities to achieve similar benefits.
