Join us as we expand upon the influence that public gardens have on the communities around them. This walk will start at the Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens in Everett, where we will focus on identifying a wide range of conifers, herbaceous perennials and deciduous trees. We will discuss the history of the garden and how the board of directors engages the community in creating and maintaining this gem. We will then head over to Grand Avenue Park, located along the Everett waterfront, and bandy about the neighborhood to see how the community has integrated many of the plants we see at the Arboretum and set the tone for a lively gardening scene in Everett.
