The Library serves many users ranging from University faculty and students to visitors to the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. As part of being a resource on plants, we have published horticultural books and six editions of Andersen Horticultural Library's Source List of Plants and Seeds. We maintain an online service and database Plant Information Online , that provides information on nurseries, plant sources, plant citations, and other links.
