  This is a gardener's and photographer's and bird watcher's paradise! Simply amazing what 1 man can do planting over the course of 50 years! The garden paths meander through a rain garden (to filter run-off from the parking lot), past a duck pond where ducks and dragon flies and lily pads delight the viewer, down a double border, about 450 feet long, dropping down to Soos Creek, where 4 salmon runs happen in the late Fall. Can't forget to mention the enormous demonstration vegetable garden, where hundreds of pounds of fresh produce are donated to 2 Food Banks. Over 150 hardy fuchsias, magnolias, and roses lead into a stunning entry garden, reminiscent of years gone by with 100's of bulbs in the spring, roses, peonies and so much more. Trees, some quite rare, are a treat too. 150 Kalmia are the "signature" flower. Enjoy!

  There is no charge for this, just donations if you wish. At first you may think as you pull up that this is a tiny botanical garden, this is deceptive as the garden runs deep and there is much to see. Great event to do and you could easily spend an hour to two
