| Abstract/Contents: | Announces the availability of a native plant database. Empahsizes the importance of using native plants on a golf course because "native plants originated and grow naturally in a particular region or habitat. When you landscape with plants that are native to your region, you help to preserve not only the unique local character of [the] area, but also the overall biological diversity of North America." Concludes that "among the best things golf courses can offer to golfers and [the] environment alike is a round played amidst the spectacular beauty of each unique region." |
