Gardening wiki shows potential for wiki applications

WikiGardens.com is a new TWiki-based web site aimed at plant lovers. Developed with technical services provided by WikiRing, the site features a host of features designed to allow both professional and home gardeners to share information about plants, gardening, and all related matters.

• A plant database with over 28,000 initial entries.
• Discussion forums about specific plants or general gardening topics.
• "Our Garden" showcase that allows gardeners to show off their creations pictures and blog-like journal entries so that can report on the garden throughout the season.
• Local gardening resource listing to help gardeners find local gardening groups and venders.

This site demonstrates the flexibility with which TWiki can accommodate both unstructured "wiki" input and structured data (such as the plant database). It also demonstrates how TWiki can provide all the functionality of several web applications (i.e. forum, gallery, wiki, etc) within an integrated framework.
