Japanese Garden at Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden

When you go to the Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden, don't miss the Japanese Garden!

Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden

Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden - what a gem! They are open 7 days a week, from dawn to dusk.

I visited Sunday and took these photos. Along with the plants, I was impressed with the water features.

A fuschia society will be adding a fuschia garden soon (hardy fuschias), and they have plans for other expansion gardens.

Container plantings

I went to the Richie Steffan lecture Saturday at the Weyerhaeuser Bonsai Garden. His topic was container plantings, featuring wood and shade perennials. He typically uses a mix of crushed pumice, compost, and bark for "woody" plantings (approximately equal parts).

One arrangement had three "star" plants: hosta, fern, and epimedium with saxifrage planted as filler. He arranged three interesting pieces of wood in the container.
