The team is committed to building a growing community by providing users with online and mobile applications to bring people together with each other and the information they need to succeed.

The app makes it easy for professionals and educators to share images with as many “Botany Buddies” as you like at NO EXTRA CHARGE. Collection sharing can save professionals, educators, and students thousands of dollars in printing and shipping, plus countless hours processing information. Most importantly it allows you to get the information you need when you need it and to share it quickly, easily, and freely.
