In order to further the educational mission of the Morris Arboretum of the University of Pennsylvania, as well as expand the visibility of its website, and create a valuable internet resource, this project creates an online guide to the ferns in the Dorrance H. Hamilton Fernery. The content for this guide is stored in a MySQL database. Online users can access this content in the Fernery section of the Morris Arboretum’s website. PHP scripts format the fern information so that users can access it with any modern web browser. These scripts also provide tools for Fernery staff and volunteers to update and maintain the information in the database.
