This one-acre garden, cultivated over nearly 50 years, features diverse plantings, winding trails, gurgling ponds, and the serenity of birdsong.

This park is such an adorable Seattle find! It's essentially a rather large park on the side of a hill. There's several different paths that all meander up the hillside and some have a rope...

Lovely little hillside garden overlooking Lake Union. One of my favorite spots to walk to and take in the view.
