Cacheing with your iphone is great. I use it all the time and can pop it out and find a cache where ever I am at. The geocaching app for the iphone gives you all the information about the cache and provides a map view navigation to the cache. All you Iphone users should really try caching with your phone, you will love it.

Amborsia, You have a perfect example right there in your home town. There is a great rose garden on the south side of town and then you have Bohme Gardens on the north side. Sould those two gardens be placed under botanical gardens, or would it be better to have separate categories. I look at Bohme as much more of a botanical garden and the rose garden as a community project garden.

That was what we were thinking originally. There are a lot of wonderful gardens out there that I would not consider being botanical gardens. Many towns in our area have rose gardens that are cultivated by a local group of dedicated gardners. These garden could be put into the botanical garden category, but I have always viewed botanical gardens as much larger, cultivated by specialist and having a rare collection of plants that woul not grow in that area naturally. That makes me wonder if it would be go back to the original idea of having a category for gardens. Have botanical gardens be one of the detail categories under that, along with categories for Rose Gardens, Dahlia Gardens, Cactus Gardens, Arboretums, Japanese Gardens, and what ever else we could think of. This way if you are visiting a town and want to see some gorgeous flowers in a city park with no additional cost to you - you would have the information that you need. Does someone want to propose a concludsion here on the forum and try to help us get moving forward. I will do anything I can to help make it possible, but I am the new kid on the block compared to others.

This sounds good to me, once we have a category approved through peer review, can we switch it's location with an officers vote? Thank you for letting Botanical Gardens serve as a parent category for these more specific categories.

Thanks for taking the time to respond - I understand that they are all categories. It would be nice however if you did not have to take one of teh 5 categories that you can manage to set up a category that will be used for the sole pupose of keeping the site organized. I think that the limit of 5 categories is stifling the growth of Waymarking and while I agree that quality needs to remain high I wish that this rule was not there. Peer review should help weed out junk and "category grabers".

We would like to get a sub-category under nature to place categories related to Gardens. We have a group of excited waymarkers that would like to see the addition of categories for different types of public gardens. Examples include: Rose Garden Botanical Gardens Cactus Gardens Arboretums English Gardens Perenial Gardens We think it would be much wiser to set up this sub-category in Nature (similar to statues) so that all the Gardens would be located in one space. How do we get this done, and does it count against the total number of categories an individual can host? Thanks for your help!

This is a group that is being established to set up categories related to Trains. Some ideas that I currently have would be: Locomotives - you know the ones that are in city parks. Train Depots - old train depots from the hay day Model Train Layout - Model Train Layouts that are open to the public and much much more. Help me out in getting these great categories going by becoming a member of this group. It will be fun. All Aboard Group

Hello everyone, Need you help in identifying enough new officers to get a gardening group together. This group is being designed to be able to set up categories for different types of gardens that are available to visit in out communities. Examples include: Rose Garden Dahlia Garden Japanesse Garden Perrinial Garden Cactus Garden and any other great ideas you might have. Please join this group and let me know if you would be interested in being an officer. I have some sites in place to get us going once we can set the categories. Gardening Group Page Thanks

I would like to start a group for quilt stores. One of the ways that I thank my wife for putting up with all the geocaching and Waymarking is to find all the quilt stores along the way. When we go by on the way to a cache we stop and let her shop. I would like to set up a category under Business/Commerece...Stores/Retail for quilt shops. If this is of interest to you please join my group so that we can get the necessary people in place to get this started. http://www.Waymarking.com/groups/details.a...a7-cc51406dad7f Remember that when mama is happy everyone is happy.
