Explorations in the Great Basin (Seminar)
Monday, January 28, 2008
12pm to 1pm
Seminar Details Brent Hine, Curator of the E.H. Lohbrunner Alpine Garden at UBC Botanical Garden, recently completed a seed-collecting trip where he investigated the Great Basin and intermountain region in the states of Nevada, Oregon and Washington. This is a dry-land biome between western North America's coastal mountains and the western Rockies. This unique flora will be represented a new garden feature appropriately called the 'Intermountain Habitat'. Pending good weather, this lecture will be followed by a tour of the Alpine Garden by Brent.
