• More about the Host Institution

The University of Washington Botanic Gardens During the 2010 CBHL Annual Meeting we will visit the Washington Park Arboretum, a hidden gem on the shores of Lake Washington. Also on the schedule is the Center for Urban Horticulture, in the Union Bay Natural Area, which is a public space, a natural restoration laboratory, and an important wildlife habitat on Lake Washington. Thirty years of ongoing restoration have transformed this old landfill into meadows, woods, wetlands, and one of the best birdwatching spots in Seattle with over 200 species sighted. Located around the Center, the demonstration gardens showcase designs and plants that are attractive, sustainable, and easy to replicate at home. Come enjoy the sights of the Soest Garden, the scents of the Seattle Garden Club Fragrance Garden, the intricate design of McVay Courtyard, and the tranquility of Goodfellow Grove.             »»»Visit the University of Washington Botanic Gardens' website
