Spring Quarter display features Pacific Northwest flora

This quarter we celebrate the plants native to our region. With courses such as Pacific Northwest Ecosystems , Native Plant Production, and Silviculture offered through The College of the Environment's School of Environmental and Forest Sciences this spring, the library is featuring relevant books, peer-reviewed journals, and theses in our Student and Faculty display area near the armchairs in the corner.

The library offers field guides to trees, works on wetland plants, propagation handbooks, recent theses, wildflower guides, articles from peer-reviewed journals and much more. Visitors are encouraged to browse, using or borrowing items directly from the display, and to ask questions. Our experienced staff can guide your research and help you get the most from your library time. Class tours of the library are encouraged. Just call 206-543-0415 or email hortlib@uw.edu to schedule a tour.
