CULTURE RESENTS TV >-(ia ' ' SUMMER 1994 / Center for Urban Horticulture / Washington Park Arboretum / College of Forest Resources / University of Washington / Vol. 1 1, No. 3 HIGHLIGHTS THIS SUMMER David Stevens Lecture Culinary Herb Symposium Vancouver & Tacoma Tours Plant Identification Courses CENTER NEWS From Director Clement Hamilton IN MEMORY OF ELISABETH CAREY MILLER One of the most important persons in the history of Seattle horticulture passed away this past March. Elisabeth Carey Miller led our ommunity in developing many projects, including Freeway Park, planting the trees along the Lake Washington ship canal, and in Operation Triangle, which resulted in streetside plantings that help give Seattle its unique urban flavor. Her energy, vision, and generosity drove the creation of the Center for Urban Horticulture at the University of Washington, and we are proud that Betty was able to see the Center mature and develop its programs of teaching, research, and public service. She felt closest to the Elisabeth C. Miller Horticultural Library at CUH, which was started with a gift by her late husband, Pendleton Miller, and which has benefited from her advo- cacy and generosity throughout its history. Her garden has been a national model for a landscape with naturalistic appearance and function, unusual plant material, and aesthetic appeal. It is a challenge and an honor •or faculty, staff, and students at the Center to continue striving toward the lofty goals set for us by Betty, and we will miss her. RUSH TO GRADUATE Winter quarter (March) saw the graduation of four students with master’s degrees from the Center. Stephanie Allen, working with Assistant Professor Kern Ewing, compared the effects of different applications of compost material on plant growth. Mark Rains, also working with Ewing, grappled with questions of classifying vegetation on wetlands. Gael Varsi, advised by Associate Professor Clem Hamilton, studied the management of the Joseph Witt Winter Garden in the Arboretum and made recommendations to our staff. Niannian Chen, working with Hamilton, devised a naturalistic Chinese plant display for the Arbore- tum, representing the rich and varied flora of Mt. Emei. AWARD TO URBAN FORESTRY PROJECT Recent CUH graduate Elizabeth Walker was given a Merit Award presented jointly by the American Planning Association and the Planning Association of Washington for her master’s project, entitled “A Citizen’s Guide to Urban Forest Management in the Town of Clyde Hill.” Congratula- tions to her and her faculty advisor Gordon Bradley. PROGRESS IN THE CUH ECOLOGICAL RESEARCH AREA Next time you visit the Center, take advantage of the long summer days and walk out to our Ecological Research Area, formerly the Montlake dump site. Assistant Professor Kern Ewing, his graduate students, our grounds staff, and volunteers are working hard to make the 40-acre site a more naturally restored habitat that will attract and support an even greater diversity of birds and wildlife. One of the four ponds has had several native woody species planted in and around the water in order to improve the structure of the vegetation. Research on Idaho fescue ( Festuca idahoensis) is seeking to determine what management strategy will best encourage the success of this native grass at the expense of the exotic herbs that now dominate the area. LIBRARY NEWS The library lost its founder and great supporter this past March. Elisabeth C. Miller left a legacy when, through her vision, generosity, and determina- tion, she and her husband Pendleton financed the construction of the Miller Library in 1984. She also provided an endowment for some of its operating support. Books and gardens were among Betty’s favorite things and she was knowledgeable about both. Thanks to all who sent remembrances of Betty to continue her goals for the library. Some memorial gifts and some of her favorite books will be displayed in the library this summer. Receipt of a grant award of $10,000 from the Northwest Horticultural Society has will make possible Monday evening hours during the 1994-95 fiscal year, plus an expansion of the lending collection. Thanks for this continued support. T VOLUNTEER NEWS Our Third Annual CUH/WPA Volunteer & Staff Barbecue will be held Friday, September 9. Volunteers will receive more information and invitations soon. Do you have some extra time in the summer? Thinking about volunteer- ing?

SAVING OUR PONDS The year-end appeal conducted by the Arboretum Foundation raised over $53,000 towards cleaning and repair- ing 4 ponds in the Woodland Garden and Rhododendron Glen. University staffers Christina Pfeiffer, Tracy Omar and Barbara Selemon worked on this project with Pfeiffer serving as the project manager. John Candy, Department of Parks and Recreation Arboretum Senior Gardener and other city officials were involved in the review process. The contract has been held by the Arboretum Foundation, and Sonneman Design, Inc., was selected for the work. The woodland Garden ponds were cleaned late this spring, while work on the other ponds is expected to continue until late fall. IMS GRANT BENEFITS MAPLES The Arboretum was the recipient of a $25,000 Institute of Museum Services Conservation Grant for the renovation of our Japanese maple collection. We have the largest collection of Japanese maples of any US public garden. Most of these trees are one-of-a-kind and many are over forty years old. We will re-propagate important collection trees as well as add in new cultivars. Most of the trees are located in the Woodland Garden where increasing attention will be given to assessing the entire area for traffic circulation and over-all plant mainte- nance and design needs. In May, Polly A1 Elid began the design review process. This summer, Iain Robertson, who has had a long-time tie with the Arboretum, will also be working on this project. Our goal is to revitalize the entire Woodland Garden. BUILDING MANAGER Lisa Frolund, who had been success- fully managing the Graham Visitors Center the past several months, left that position in May to pursue other activities. Lisa will be missed by all the staff and volunteers. This position will be reoriented in the future to also include some other aspects of needed Arboretum duties.
