Keep up with Master of Environmental Horticulture projects:
a web resource update from Tracy Mehlin

Students pursuing Master of Environmental Horticulture degrees produce reports documenting their restoration and ecological engineering projects. The completed reports and report summaries are now accessible on the University of Washington Botanic Gardens website as Technical Bulletins. Recent reports examine the verification process for urban forest restoration efforts by the Green Seattle Partnership and nearshore restoration monitoring at Thatcher Bay in the San Juan Islands.

Twelfth annual Garden Lovers' Book Sale
April 7 and 8 with clearance sale April 10-12

Please join us for the Miller Library's twelfth annual Garden Lovers' Book Sale April 7 and 8, 2017. As usual, the two-day sale features a Friday night party with appetizers and wine from 5 to 8 pm. Tickets are $25 in advance and can be purchased in the library or by calling 206-543-0415.

You'll find the free public sale in the glass-walled Merrill Hall Commons Saturday, April 8, from 9 am to 3 pm. The library will also be open that day, with the Pacific Northwest Botanical Artists' annual exhibit on through May 6 as an added attraction.

We have a bountiful inventory this year. Any leftover books will be available for very low prices (many free) in the library the first three days of the following week, April 10-12. We can accept cash or checks only for this post-sale clearance.

Students, please remember to submit a poster by May 1

Don't miss this opportunity to share your latest projects and research results with the general public. All students in the School of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington are invited to create a 14x14-inch mini-poster in .pdf format to display at the Miller Library May 12 though June 9.

Just send us the electronic version, and we'll cover the printing and mounting costs. Send your poster to us (hortlib@uw.edu) by May 1 to participate. We hope you'll also join us for the informal meet-and-greet Friday, May 12, from 5 to 7 pm.
