Brolla is the successor to the old newsletter, Butlletí informatiu, produced by the Associació d'Amics del Jardí Botànic (Association of Friends of the Botanical Garden). The first issue (number 0) was published in January 2003, when we asked our readers to suggest a title for the new publication. The suggestion sent in by Miquel Comas, a member of the Friends of the Garden, was judged the best, and the newsletter was given the name of Brolla, which means both "spring" and "undergrowth" in Catalan.
