| brochure on daffodils
and the new daffodil collection in the
UT Gardens. The East Tennessee
Daffodil Society recently donated
and planted a daffodil collection
representing all 13 divisions and
classes of this popular landscape
bulb to the UT Gardens. The interpretive literature that Carla is
developing will enhance the value
and relevancy of the collection to the
Gardens. Carla is also gaining
experience in working with a true
expert on daffodils, Lois Van We,
who is guiding her in developing the
brochure. American Daffodil Society
judge and member of the East
Tennessee Daffodil Society, Lois has
provided Carla with accurate and
current information and is serving as brochure editor.
Public Horticulture student Tony
Clark is earning credit by mapping
the woody plant collection in the UT Gardens and then creating a
botanical database for managing the
collection's information. Because of
Tony's work, UT Gardens staff will be
able to keep track of all trees and
shrubs in the gardens including such
information as location, date of
acquisition, plant source, botanical
name, common name, and health.
