==Difference between Wikipedia.org and Gardenology.org==

It is a standard encyclopedia in what it covers however, so if you read about a banana tree, the article will explain the history of the banana, the types of uses people have for it, the nutritional value, pop culture references, importance to certain cultures, production in various countries, etc, etc.  All very important information, which you would expect to find when you read an encyclopedia article about a banana.  A garden encyclopedia on the other hand, as many of us know, has a completely different approach to a banana article.  It describes the plant, tells you how and where to grow it, propagate it, and what diseases it may be prone to.  Wikipedia has a policy of not allowing "how to" information, so the information needed on how to grow a plant is simply not supposed to be placed there as a matter of policy.  That meant there was a need for a plant encyclopedia, from a gardeners perspective.  And this is that encyclopedia.  Same wiki platform, same collaborative approach, same free licensing, but different angle on the plants.
