Beginning on May 24, 2019 we are introducing paid subscription tiers for premium Plants Map features. To view the subscription pricing page click here. Visit that page again on May 24 as it will be updated with links to upgrade your profile.
We have created a help page to answer frequently asked questions about the subscriptions tiers.
On May 31 we invite you to attend a live webinar to demonstrate the new subscription tiers, answer your questions, and share with you some new features being developed.
We have received positive feedback to our email announcements that we have been sending to our community since last week. We appreciate your support as we move Plantsmap.com towards software as a service for connecting people with plants.
