Leadership Spotlight<br />
E. Tyler Miller<br />
E. Tyler Miller is Co-Chair of the<br />
Development Committee, with<br />
Neil Hokanson, for the new Children’s<br />
<strong>Garden</strong>. Tyler first became<br />
in<strong>vol</strong>ved with the Quail <strong>Botanic</strong>al<br />
<strong>Garden</strong>s five years ago when he<br />
was taking several of his grandchildren<br />
on an outing through the <strong>Garden</strong>s<br />
and met President/CEO Julian<br />
Duval.<br />
“My father loved gardens, and I<br />
grew up having a ‘victory garden’<br />
and enjoying plants and trees,” says<br />
Tyler. “It was a natural transition<br />
for my wife Diane and I to get excited<br />
about helping create a new<br />
children’s garden for the community.<br />
We love Balboa Park and all it<br />
represents. We now have a unique<br />
opportunity to create a lasting legacy<br />
here in North County. We<br />
also know that unless we act now,<br />
there will not be any opportunities<br />
to preserve our beautiful gardens<br />
and open land.”<br />
CHILDREN’S GARDEN - COME GROW WITH US!<br />
Q uail <strong>Botanic</strong>al <strong>Garden</strong>s has a wonderful opportunity to expand onto 4 ½ acres of<br />
undeveloped property along its northern border. The first phase of this growth plan is a<br />
place where children and families can enjoy the outdoors and experience the wonder of<br />
being close to nature – a Children’s <strong>Garden</strong>. Through thoughtful design and creative<br />
programming, the new Children’s <strong>Garden</strong> will provide a nurturing environment for children<br />
and families to explore the natural world.<br />
Tree House<br />
Our one-of-a-kind tree, rising more than 20 feet<br />
high, will blend manmade materials with living plants.<br />
T he new Children’s <strong>Garden</strong> will offer<br />
many new educational opportunities and<br />
natural experiences for all to enjoy! Construction<br />
is scheduled to begin in April<br />
2008 and should be completed by the<br />
Spring of 2009. A special thanks to the<br />
many wonderful people who have dedicated<br />
their time, talents, and funding to<br />
this important and exciting project.<br />

for the new Children's <strong>Garden</strong> are<br />

"The formation of the Community<br />
Advisory Council is an overt effort on the<br />
part of the Board and Staff of Quail <strong>Botanic</strong>al<br />
<strong>Garden</strong>s to actively seek the advice<br />
and guidance of leaders of the communities<br />
we serve," said Julian Duval. "We are<br />
