Each year, the arboretum’s Adult Tour Program serves more than 1,000 visitors.

Those interested can attend an orientation from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday.

For information, call 206-543-8801 or e-mail uwbgeduc@u.washington.edu.

‘Move This House’: Seattle’s Screaming Flea Productions is producing a new show, “Move This House,” for A&E network.

The show is currently casting families for 12 episodes. Shooting will take place from April through November.

A spinoff of “Sell This House,” host Tanya Memme and design expert, Roger Hazard, head up the team that will pack you up, move you in and design your house for free in three days. The catch is that participants must give up complete control to the designers.
