"QR codes" on Labels mean Pages of Plant Info for Potential Purchasers

Almost all modern phones have a camera, and an app for scanning QR codes.

Now, by using QR codes supplied by Joy of Plants, your labels can allow would-be purchasers to see a webpage of complete details for each plant variety - making it so much more likely they'll find the right plant and buy it.

Joy of Plants launched its “Plant Info” QR codes at the Four Oaks trade show this week with Atkiro Ltd, a well-known grower and wholesale nursery from Yorkshire.

The Joy of Plants QR codes:

* Are available for over 7,500 plant varieties and give access to world-class plant information that is maintained and delivered by Joy of Plants

* Can be used on any kind of plant label, provided by any label manufacturer, as there are no restrictions on use

* Are “ready to use” and tested, pre-sized and formatted for label printers

* Lead to pages that are quick to download and easy to use on a smartphone

* Are supplied free of charge for anyone to use

Gardeners can also buy the Joy of Plants iPhone app from the Apple AppStore to access the same information about 7,500 plants wherever they need it.

Garden Centres and Nurseries can license the Joy of Plants Plant Finder for their websites to deliver the same information as the Plant Info pages. See www.longacres.co.uk and click Plant Finder to see the Plant Finder in action.

"I have been using Melcourt Sylvagrow for a few years now. Bracken based & no wood fibre or crap within it. I tend to mix in some Perlite depending on what it is being used for. It was sold in 50Lt bags until last spring when they dropped 20% out,…"

"Hi Henry - Sounds like the starter motor is trying to turn the engine over but it has jammed. You could try freeing it off by rocking the machine backwards and forwards. It may work. Did for me on an Etesia 124. Good luck."

"I'm trying out Uncle Tom's Rose Tonic this year as well as Sulphur Rose and am keen to see the results. Obviously I can't recommend them yet, but will report back if they work. "
