How to get started in botany?

I really like botany and I want to learn as much as I can about it. I don't really know where to start though. I can't take any classes so I'll be teaching myself with books. But besides reading books what else can I do to learn about botany?

    I'd start with the wikipedia article on Botany. The article will give you a very sketch-like/general overview, and you can click into things you're more interested in.

    Also, the "external links" at the bottom of, not only the general botany page, but other pages will provide good reading material!

    I love wikipedia. Just keep in mind that sometimes there are inaccuracies, but for the most part I find lots of accurate, well-written info on there!

    Hope that helps :)
