Can anyone recommend a Plant Database for me?

I was about to start creating my own so that I could produce Cultivation Notes for clients and it occurred to me that there may be one already available. I would like to be able to produce reports ordered either by plant name or by season/month and would prefer it to be customisable and include photos .

    Interesting one available to download FOC @ http://www.ibiblio.org/pfaf/download/ - USA based...

    I use the two following sites

    http://www.deeproot.co.uk/

    http://www.shootgardening.co.uk/

    both have their benefits and pitfalls, deeproot allows you to have individual lists for clients, whereas shoot is a bit more user friendly.

    Thanks guys, I had found deeproot but it doesn't sem to have cultivation notes on it, unless I am missing something. I'll check out shoot though. My computer doesn't seem to be able to read any of the PFAF files, unfortunately.

    Hi Heather

    PFAF is a flat file database using Microsoft Access.

    Thanks, that explains it, I don't have Access. Probably need to rectify that!
