This section provides links to lecture content, course notes, sources of information, etc. I will keep adding links as the quarter progresses:

See a PowerPoint version of the first lecture (3/28/2000)

Introductory topics

Evergreens in the Landscape

Botany Review on 4/13

Soils

Fertilizing Landscape Plants - an OSU factsheet

Preparation and Planting of Landscape Plants - an OSU factsheet

Improving Lawn and Landscape Soils - from the University of Missouri

Urban Soils Assessment Guide - a nice set of tables from the University of Nevada

You can view some Presentation Slides from Dr. Struve's Nursery Management class. This system works much the same as our own plant slides. I suggest you choose Lecture 1 and scroll through the slides to review the topics presented by Dr. Struve.

Brief overviews of different Ohio nurseries are provided by students that participate in our annual study tour of Landscape Horticulture organizations:

For the 1999 tour , the nurseries were Wade & Gatton and Willoway (look for them in the table of contents).

For the 1998 tour, the nurseries were Ravenwood, Studebaker's, and the Columbus Municipal Nursery.
