Center for Urban Horticulture

Managed by the University of Washington, it is home to the Union Bay Natural Area (aka Montlake Fill), beautiful gardens, the Otis Douglas Hyde Herbarium, and the Elisabeth C. Miller Library. There's something for everyone interested in our natural world. And it is home to one of the premier birding sites in Seattle, because it is an island of wild in a sea of urbanity.
