Perennial Border
Renowned for year-round dramatic displays, the perennial border is an example of a distinctively American-style mixed border and is a living demonstration of what works best in Northwest gardens. Revel in thousands of perennials, shrubs, bulbs, evergreens, and trees that provide color and beauty year-round.
This is one of the largest public perennial gardens in the U.S. maintained entirely by volunteers. The Northwest Perennial Alliance created and maintains this award-winning garden. The Perennial Border is a source of education and hands-on learning opportunities for NPA members, horticulture students and gardeners throughout the Puget Sound area.
