'''How to edit pages on Gardenology.org...'''


First, understand: We want you to edit this page.  Like nearly every other page on this site, the Main Page is open for anyone to edit.  But it is the main welcome point for most new readers of Plants.am, so we would prefer that changes first be discussed on the talk page: [[Talk:Main Page]]. Please discuss any proposed changes there ***BEFORE*** editing this page.
If you visit a page where the article needs work being rewritten and organized, please feel free to jump in and [[Help:Editing|edit the page]].  This site has a wealth of information that often comes from different sources that need to be combined or rewritten into a unified, relevant article.  Before editing any pages, you may need to first request an account: [mailto:support@gardenology.org support@gardenology.org] and log in; you may then want to play in our [[sandbox]] to familiarize yourself with [[Help:Wikitext examples|formatting]]. Adding new plants is as easy as clicking on "Add new plant" on the left hand navigation menu, typing in the name of the plant, and clicking add.
