The Arboretum’s display garden, Hanami—Savoring Spring, was awarded a Gold Medal at the Northwest Flower and Garden Show in late February! We also won the Garden Design Magazine Award for showcasing “innovative design, horticultural acuity, and inventive productivity.”
Congratulations to everyone involved, especially our design team (Bob Lilly, Phil Wood, and Roger Williams) and all our amazing volunteers. See more photos on Facebook.
