Make a lasting impression on Bastyr University

Systems Beds Border Project
This year, the Bastyr University Medicinal Herb Garden will be redesigned, transforming our standard, linear beds into a conical design, with the tallest plants in the center and shorter plants toward the outside. Brick borders will be built around each circular bed with markers identifying every plant. The garden has 17 physiological systems beds that are home to nearly 100 types of plants.
Each plant marker will include the donor's name/personal message as well as a plant's Latin and common names. Individuals may choose which plant they wish to have appear on their markers.
$600 – 8"x 8” Plant Marker: You may use up to six lines of text and 18 characters per line (including the Latin and common name of your selected plant).
