Digitalis
Published monthly, Digitalis helps you stay up-to-date on the latest news from the botanic garden, including information about our exhibitions, speaker events, and flower shows. If you are receiving Digitalis, it's because you have previously supported our work, visited on a tour, attended one of our events, or signed up online. We hope you enjoy reading along.
Newsletter
Our printed newsletter, Botanic Garden News, debuted in spring 1998 and was published twice a year, spring and fall until the fall of 2018. It includes articles by students, staff, faculty and volunteers. The newsletter features highlights of our plant collection as well as updates on our programs and exhibitions, student activities, and campus projects. Members of the Friends of the Botanic Garden received each issue by mail.
