RSS Feeds

What is RSS? How can I receive RSS news feeds? What RSS feeds are available from the Garden?

RSS, commonly known as Really Simple Syndication, is a method of sharing news, events, videos, and updates, without requiring repeated visits to a website. An RSS document, which is called an RSS feed, contains news items that are hyperlinked to updated web pages. The Garden's RSS feeds are available for subscription by clicking on the RSS button wherever it appears in the Garden website, and following the prompts to add the feed to your preferred news aggregator.

You can now add RSS feeds directly into some mail programs such as Microsoft Outlook or Mail. Check your e-mail application's help section.

Some of our RSS feeds are also posted via Twitter. Want the weekly tweet on upcoming classes or events? Follow us on twitter at twitter.com/chicagobotanic.
