Hi all, Yan Chen is on the editorial board of a new Horticulture journal … Horticulturae Apparently they are looking for suggestions for Special Topics and she was wondering if NC1186 would like to make a proposal for a special topic. Perhaps this opportunity is something we should discuss at the meeting in MI this summer. Details from Yan about the journal etc. are below. Sarah __________________________________ Sarah A.

Somehow I was put on the editorial board and has witnessed it become a reality. General issues will accept papers relevant to a broad topics within horticulture. It’s also looking for suggestions for Special Topics throughout the year. The current special topic is Organic Horticulture. I was wondering if you can forward this to the NC1186 community and see if there would be enough interests for a special topic from the group. Here’s the journal web site http://www.mdpi.com/journal/horticulturae . Its peer reviewed and no publication fee this year.
