Brian Thompson was recently appointed to the American Horticultural Society’s Book Award committee for a three-year term.  He will join six other horticultural professionals across the county, including UW Botanic Gardens alum Jenks Farmer, in reviewing and presenting awards to the authors and publishers of the best North American books on gardening from the last year.

Brian is the Manager and Curator of the Miller Library.  Review copies of the books considered for this award will be added to the library’s collection after the committee completes its work in early 2017.  The awards will be announced in the March/April issue of The American Gardener, the magazine of the American Horticultural Society.
