Garden stroll
Bees, veggies, fish and goats? You’ll find them all at wonderful gardens to explore around Seattle.
Sweet Eastside farms and gardens welcome families for a peek into growing food and keeping animals.
The lovely Seattle Japanese Garden makes an ideal outing for multiple generations, perhaps when grandparents visit.
Kubota Garden in South Seattle packs in phenomenal variety, from stone bridges to an enchanted forest, in a beautiful public space. This spot is popular and can get crowded on weekends; visit on a weekday if you can.
Shadow Lake Nature Preserve is no manicured garden. It’s a wild and fascinating peat bog that’s well worth a visit. Note that you need to make a reservation to go; it’s not a stop-by kind of place!
