Abstract

Allen, O. E. 1986. Seattle’s new center for urban horticulture.Horticulture 64 (6): 20-25.

Harold Tukey is in charge of one of the most significant new institutions in the U.S. horticultural world, Seattle’s recently created Center for Urban Horticulture. Ironically, the handsome structure into which he and his staff moved in the fall of 1984 is situated on a former city dump. But the made-over site is perfect of the Center, with ample room for expansion and a view of one of the broad waterways that make Seattle a delightful place to live and work. An independent department within the University of Washington, The Center constitutes, according to Tukey, “the first horticultural program in America—and probably the world—that’s totally dedicated to research and teaching about urban plants and their effect on humans. What is perhaps most surprising and impressive about the institution is that it came about largely through the efforts of a group of influential citizens, all devoted Seattle-area gardeners. And it continues to draw much of its funding and other support from private sources.
