Record plants and pictures  

Standard features include those relating to plant name and accession data. Synonyms can be recorded and nomenclature changes tracked. In addition to this, users can create additional customised fields depending on their needs. Images and other files such as those relating to collection-related research can be kept in one place. You can also record information about herbarium specimens.   

Mapping your Collection:

If your collection is planted across a substantial geographic area, the mapping function enables the location of your plants to be recorded, providing a map of where your plants are. This works particularly well for the larger, more permanently located plants such as trees and shrubs. You need never worry about lost labels again! You can also map the locations from which wild collected material has been sourced. 

Reports and catalogues 

Whether you want a quick printout to take round the garden, or produce an illustrated catalogue for visitors to your collection, Persephone allows quick and easy reports to be produced and downloaded.
