Publications & eNewsletter
Leaflet
We are excited to share our second issue of Leaflet, our annual membership magazine, with you. 2020 marks a special year for the Botanic Garden of Smith College, as we celebrate our 125th year in existence! In Leaflet you will hear from our horticulturists, educators, alumnae, students and faculty as they reflect on our past and share plans for our future. In this stressful time, we hope Leaflet provides a bit of joy.
We recommend reading Leaflet online, or you can download a PDF version for print.

Published quarterly, 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. You are receiving Digitalis 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 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.
