American Rhododendron Society and its Chapters
American
Rhododendron Society is,
naturally, the site of the ARS and contains a good deal of
information about the society and rhododendrons. Information is
available on the 2006 American
Rhododendron Society/Azalea Society of America Joint Convention
in Rockville, Maryland (Washington, DC).
A web site has also been set up for the ARS Western Regional
Conference, September 21 - 24, 2006, in Harrison Hot
Springs, British Columbia.
Many of the chapters of the American
Rhododendron Society now have their own web sites.
The sites vary a great deal as to the information available, but,
at the least,
most contain information about meetings and a contact point.
A list of all the chapters, containing contacts and meeting information, is available on the ARS web site.

Master Gardeners
One of the great things about the Internet is that new information can be posted within minutes of its occurrence. This quality means, however, that things are always changing. Anyone who has spent much time on the Internet has found links that lead nowhere. We hope to keep that at a minimum and would appreciate being notified at Links should you find a dead link on this page. At the same time, if you are aware of a site you think belongs on this page, please let us know.
