HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Mr. Doorenbos, as parkkeeping director of The Hague, was involved in the construction/creation of the park: Het Zuiderpark. (and the Westbroekpark too, well known for its Rosarium and the "The Hague rose-awards")

"Betula utilis Doorenbos" and "Symphoricarpos Doorenbosii" are examples of trees and shrubs named after him.

S.G.A. Doorenbos was a well known dendrologist who is memorialized by the Netherland Dendrological Society through two awards, the Silver and Bronze Doorenbos Medals.

Doorenbos was responsible for building Zuiderpark in The Hague, and he designed the Rosarium there which was built in 1932 (and has been recently renovated).
