Elisabeth Miller was dedicated to the education of gardeners and relished the opportunity to share her insights with others and to bring knowledgeable horticulturalists to the Pacific Northwest to share their experiences. As a lasting gift to the horticultural community, the Pendleton and Elisabeth Carey Miller Charitable Foundation, the Elisabeth Carey Miller Botanical Garden, the Northwest Horticultural Society and the Elisabeth C. Miller Library sponsor a free annual memorial lecture to remember the legacy of Betty Miller.

In September 2025 the Miller Memorial Lecture will return to an in-person event featuring Fergus Garrett, Chief Executive and Head Gardener at Great Dixter House & Gardens, Northiam, East Sussex, England.

In Spring 2025, details will follow for this free in-person lecture! An email announcement will be sent in Summer 2025.
