Tools for college
horticulture programs:
Spectacular plant quizzes.
First, your students can quiz themselves on plants from the plant lists you create.
They’ll view detailed information and several high resolution images for each plant.
They can quiz themselves on plant names, spelling, and visual identification of leaves and plant characteristics.

Tools for planting design classes.
PlantMaster is a professional tool for landscape designers, which makes it a great tool for planting design courses.
Give your students and design challenge and utilize the PlantMaster plant database to find the right plants, then present them to your class. They’ll have the chance to both learn to select the right plants and practice presentation skills.
“I just want to thank PlantMaster for all of your help these past years in making our Plant Identification class, here at Delta College, work like a charm! PlantMaster is a very valuable educational tool for both instruction at colleges and business opportunities in the landscape design profession. The content you have on your website is outstanding, with outstanding images and descriptive details of growing conditions and habitats and usages in the landscapes.
Since my lectures are now virtual, the resources that I can use in PlantMaster has made my lecture material even more fluid and relevant. PlantMaster is my only required “textbook” and your student discount for each semester is very reasonable. Students are enjoying PlantMaster as much as I do! Please keep up the good plant news and database accumulation.
Oh, I forgot to add another thing that is very important to me as an instructor. PlantMaster allows the instructor to “edit” each plant, add images and more descriptive analysis to cover that particular semesters plant list. A very valuable feature indeed for instructors.
Thank you for all of your help these past semesters!”

Tools that transition beyond the classroom.
A personal note from us.
We know good landscape design and horticultural practices start in the classroom. That’s why we’re committed to building great tools for college horticulture programs.
Our tools are not just for the classroom. They are designed for professionals – so beyond the quizzes, students can use PlantMaster to cultivate their plant palettes and present their plant choices to their customers as they start working.
Our hope is that students succeed in class and become our longterm customers as professionals. Win-win!
Let’s keep talking!
We’d love to speak with you. There’s so much more to show you! Please give us a call or send an email and we’ll find a good time to talk about your program and how our tools will help your students. Thanks!

How expensive is it?
Free for your college! You’ll have complete access to update your class lists, revise plant information, or add additional pictures.

Is there a free option?

However, if they want to make any edits to the plant data, add their own images, or quiz themselves on the plants – they will need to purchase a student edition of PlantMaster.
Can I customize the plant information?
Yes! Every aspect of an ePlant is editable. Plants behave differently in different locations, so we’ve ensured that you can change anything to be accurate to your needs.
Modify anything from plant type to soil conditions. Add your own plants, add your own images, and rearrange the order of those images. Add your own field notes and change the descriptions for any plant.
Do you offer training?
Yes, we offer year round training for instructors and students. Join a training session any Tuesday or Thursday at 12:00 PST. We’ll cover whatever topics you want during this one hour session. Find a training date >
We also offer training specifically for instructors at the beginning of each semester/quarter. This training will help you get set up for the upcoming class. Please contact us if you would like private training or are interested in learning more about PlantMaster. (gerry@plantmaster.com)
I already have a plant database, why do I need PlantMaster?
While PlantMaster is powered by a plant database, it is so much more than just a plant library. Every plant detail is editable, add any new plants plants and images you want, and search for plants based on more than 500 different characteristics.
The true power of PlantMaster is what you can do with the plant data! Professionals (and students) create plant palettes and send stunning presentations to their customers to present their plant choices. These tools help to make a strong impression and save time!
