SPECIAL EDITION DIRECTORY OF FERN GARDENS, NURSERIES AND RESERVES IN THE UNITED STATES 1994
The first guide to fem sources, primarily nurseries, was published by Dr. Irving W. Knobloch, Professor Emeritus, Michigan State University, in an article "Ferns and Fem Allies Available in the United States" in The American Botanist VoJ. 41, 1935.
Expanding Dr. Knobloch’s idea, this "Directory" lists public and private gardens which feature significant fem collections, nurseries offering ferns for sale, and some selected parks/reserves where rich pteridophyte floras can be seen in the wild. All the information has been provided by the owners, managers, curators or directors of the places listed.
Every effort has been made to make the 'Directory" as complete as possible. However, some sources did not respond to the survey or the follow-up reminder. And. there are undoubtedly sources unknown to the editor or her many helpful advisors.
The "Directory" does, nevertheless, offer the pteridophile a state-by-state guide to many places where ferns and allied plants may be enjoyed, studied or purchased. The editor would appreciate being notified of additions and alterations which will be included in a future revision of the Directory."
A "Guide to Fem Gardens, Collections and Nurseries" also exists for British ferns. It was published in May, 1991 by The British Pteridological Society, c/o Botany Depart¬ ment, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, England
