Off Island Garden Tours and Adventures

Every Spring, members of the Garden Club embark on a tour to visit professional gardens and growing centers outside the Island. The sites for these trips are identified, selected, and organized by a committee within the club. Additionally, the committee plans smaller gardening-related adventures during Spring and Fall, either on or off the Island, based on the interests of the members.

Located on the northwest side of Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, Streissguth Gardens is an urban oasis. A small, mostly family-maintained garden on a steep hillside, this little-known gem in the middle of bustling Seattle offers amazing views of Lake Union, downtown Seattle, and the Olympic Mountains. Plantings have been selected to offer flowers every day of the year. Along with the beautiful vegetation and view, visitors enjoy winding trails, gurgling ponds, and birdsong.

A short walk from the Graham Visitors Center via the Hillside Trail, the Joseph A. Witt Winter Garden features a central lawn encircled by tall cedars and firs and a tremendous assortment of smaller trees, shrubs and perennials. This garden is at its best from late November through the end of March, when much of the rest of the park is relatively quiet and subdued

The Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden is a one-of-a-kind heritage location that was created to preserve some of the area’s most treasured gardens,  including the Seike Japanese Garden, the Celebration Rose Garden, and the Elda Behm Paradise Garden. Our mission is connecting the community to nature through a diverse and beautiful collection of historical gardens. The garden is open daily from Dawn to Dusk, and admission and parking are free. The Garden is situated on approximately 11 acres adjacent to the North SeaTac Community Center. Included are two gardens that were physically moved to prevent their demolition during SeaTac Airport’s third runway project.
