FRIENDS OF THE ANDERSEN HORTICULTURAL LIBRARY

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 serve as an advisory body to the Library; to encourage the publication of information and research from the Library; to help develop the collections of the Library by encouraging gifts, endowments, and memorials; and to sponsor lectures and informational programs in conjunction with the Library.  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.

THE FRIENDS NEWSLETTER The Friends of the Andersen Horticultural Library receive the Friends of Andersen Horticultural Library News.  This newsletter is published two times per year in January and July.  It has articles of interest, communications for the friends, and a calendar of events.
