November brought some great progress to the community! We’re delighted to share the new simplified accession flow, now available to all users, along with a range of thoughtful enhancements designed to make your Hortis experience even better. And there’s more—two new success stories were added this month which will be showcased in our webinar on December 3rd, alongside highlights of the latest product features.
Simplified Accession Flow
The reimagined accession form is here—designed for seamless use on smartphones, desktops, and laptops. Its compact design focuses on key data, with quick access to additional sections, and lets you create accessions directly from the sidebar without leaving your current page. Read more about the new accession flow and other improvements.
In our success story series, we are proud to have added two new articles. The latest article comes from Scott Sullivan at Indianapolis Zoo who, together with his team, has transformed the management of their 44,000 plants across 3,000 species by adopting Hortis earlier this year. Discover how they streamlined data management, improved collaboration, and unlocked new opportunities for plant conservation and visitor engagement. Read the full story here.
Our second Story, "From Root Ball to Cloud," we explore how Muiderslot’s (Muider Castle) historic gardens near Amsterdam have embraced digital technology to preserve their centuries-old plant collection. Learn how garden director Henk Boers and his team are safeguarding this living heritage for future generations. Read the full story here.

Several of the gardens recently joining Hortis have been working to integrate fragmented legacy data from paper records and other formats, adding this information retrospectively.
To better support this process, we will soon introduce greater flexibility in how accession numbers are managed. This update will allow you to bypass automatic numbering while still maintaining consistency with your existing accession number format.
Stay tuned for more details in the coming days!
