Elisabeth C. Miller Horticultural Library

Hello! Got this in another email and thought I would share. Interesting
to me to think of "urban" horticulture in the state of Washington! I
guess my first guesses would be DC, NYC, Chicago, etc. Notice that they
are looking for books and magazines to replace those lost in a fire
recently. Enjoy, Fran

Tucked away within the numerous specialized subject libraries at the
University of Washington is a gem known as the Elisabeth C. Miller
Horticultural Library. The library has several main directives,
including service to the Center of Urban Horticulture (which is located
on campus as well) and as a clearinghouse of gardening material for the
general public. While much of the material available online is geared
primarily towards working with gardens in the Pacific Northwest, there
are a number of helpful general materials here as well. The web
resources section is quite nice, as it contains a number of weblinks
(selected by staff at the Library) organized around a host of themes,
including botany, ecology, and arboreta. The Booklists By Topic area
culls together various lists of important books by topic (over 40 to
date), covering areas from alpine and rock gardening to water gardening.
Visitors with young children (or teachers) should find a thorough
20-page bibliography, titled

 Children and Nature, to be an invaluable resource.
