in Seattle, WA 98195about Center for Urban Horticulture:
If you take a walk around the Union Bay Natural Area, plan some extra time to check out the grounds at the Center for Urban Horticulture.
Although the CUH offers gardening workshops and lectures for grownup gardeners only, its grounds make a lovely place to explore or rest if you visit with kids. The public is welcome.
Most notable is the complex's inner courtyard. Although planted with Northwest natives, the design of the courtyard evokes the Southwest. It features a shaded spot to sit, with a gravel "river" that "flows" through the seating area. It's a pleasant and charming spot to rest or have a snack after a walk through the adjacent natural area. It's located directly to the right when you enter the complex from the parking lot.
