Overview:
The Horticulture Inspection Society - Western Chapter (WHIS) seeks to solicit and exchange information from its participating members, creating an avenue to further educate the organization as a whole. New information is continuously garnered and learned along the way, much of which is not available or timely able to be presented in a formal educational approach.
WHIS members, through dialog and training expand the level of expertise necessary for professional horticultural inspection and plant protection.
