History

The Home Tissue Culture Listserv was founded about 13 years ago by Carol Stiff.  The goal was to help people communicate with each other, share ideas, compare methods, exchange seeds, plants and cultures, and find sources of supplies needed in hobby tissue culture.  After existing for 10 years, it was decided that a more formal presence was needed to unite hobby tissue culturists all over the world and to aid in finding grant monies for in-person meetings and further training.
