My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Anyone got a good collection database program..?

19 years ago

I am trying to locate a good computer database to hold photos, and details of my plant collection.

When I crossed that line of being a person with a general interest in subtropical plants, to an obsessed Bromeliad collector, I started a basic collection catalogue, using Microsoft word documents. To date this has been very useful to track and manage my collection. But now the data has grown to a point where the word docÂs have become quite large, and searching for info takes time. Plus, all my plant photos are stored in a separate collection file.

I have tried to adapt a couple of the generic database programs, but have not found these to be totally satisfactory. My ideal database would be one that can hold photos, plant details, can be searched, can print key info, oh & of courseÂis free.

Any suggestionsÂ?
