NPA Lectures
NPA members enjoy three free lectures a year, plus just $5 for the annual Nicolay Lecture in April.
Lectures are held at the Aaron Education Center at Bellevue Botanical Garden in Bellevue and at the Center for Urban Horticulture in Seattle. Doors open at noon for plant sales and refreshments and the lecture begins at 1 pm.
Be sure to bring your NPA card to get in free. You’re also welcome to bring a friend—nonmembers pay $15. Not a member? You can join at the door or join now.
The lecture begins with a drawing for door prizes. This is followed by brief announcements about NPA events, then the lecture itself, which usually lasts an hour.
Nicolay Memorial Lecture
This lecture, usually in spring, features a celebrity speaker and costs $5 for NPA members/$20 for nonmembers. Kevin Nicolay was one of the founders of NPA.
