The Friends of the Andersen Horticultural Library was formed in 1988 and is open to all interested members of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. The stated goals of the Friends are to stimulate public awareness of the Library and to encourage the use of its collections, to sponsor lectures and informational programs in conjunction wth the Arboretum and Library, to encourage the publication of information and research from the Arboretum and the Library in Horticulture and Natural History, and to help develop the collections of the Library by encouraging gifts, endowments, and memorials.
An attractive newsletter and invitations to special events are two of the benefits of becoming a member of the friends. The Friends meet five times a year for lectures and demonstations based on horticulture and natural history.
