And as always, our spaces at the Washington Park Arboretum and the Center for Urban Horticulture are open and free to the public, so if a paid-for-class doesn't work for your schedule or budget, you're always welcome to visit and enjoy the gardens with your loved ones. We can particularly recommend the Fragrance Garden at the Center for Urban Horticulture, co-maintained in partnership with the Seattle Garden Club - well worth slowing down to smell the flowers!

This rainy weather is perfect for spring planting! Swing by the Native Plant Sale run by the UW chapter of the Society for Ecological Restoration and pick up some native plants - every plant purchase directly supports this student-run organization!
