Editor, Iain Taylor writes about the introduction of plants to British Columbia. Many new plants that are brought into the region, come from China and southeast Asia. A new book from the UBC Botanical Garden and Centre for Plant research, The Jade Garden (released June, 2005) highlights new exciting plant discoveries from Asia that are suitable for North American gardens.

Taylor also notes the retirement of Judy Newton, Education Coordinator at UBCBG and author of the monthly Walk in the Garden. This issue contains the last article in the series.
