[TZ_INFO] Introducing the "Where to Buy" feature!

We are now compiling lists of plants that are sold by gardening companies, and matching them up with plants in our plant database at Garden.org. If you see a plant you want to buy, you might see a "Buying Options" link at the top of that plant's page. This feature is brand new and not all plants are listed yet, but we hope to get there eventually. If you are a company who sells plants and would like more information on how to be included, send us an email through Garden.org.
