Featuring excellent views and good ideas for those of us with health restrictions, this is the garden to visit on the 2016 Highline Garden Tour.
Beginning 40 years ago, this gardener has worked with a property that was initially a summer cottage with pasture and a few fruit tees. Now, one enters the property through a more formal setting of rhododendrons and azaleas, while the side and back yards are filled with perennials and row plantings, chosen for ease of access and care due to the gardener’s rheumatiod arthritis.. The backyard features the addition of a clever playhouse/potting shed, made from recycled materials from a Vashon Island artist.
The Highline Garden Tour is June 11th from 10 AM – 4 PM. Tickets are available at Burien Bark, Umpqua Bank, Wild Birds Unlimited and Furneys. For more information visit the Highline Historical Society website: www.highlinehistory.org
