Kruckeberg Botanic Garden

Kruckeberg Botanic Garden is a four-acre public garden containing a unique blend of Pacific Northwest native plants and unusual exotics set in a naturalistic wooded setting. It has more than 2,000 species, which include native and exotic conifers, hardwoods, rhododendrons, magnolias, ferns and groundcovers. Several trees are the largest or most rare in the state. Birdwatchers have identified more than 40 bird species while visiting the Garden. Located in Shoreline, Washington, the Garden was founded in 1958 by Dr. Arthur Kruckeberg and his wife Mareen, botanists and horticulturalists who amassed the plant collection over 50 years in the gardens surrounding their home.
