Carl S. English Jr. Botanical Garden Tour

This tour focuses on the unique aspects of the Carl S. English Jr. Botanical Garden. These lovely grounds are a masterpiece of horticultural splendor, combining the elegant lines and vistas of the romantic English landscape style with the original character of more than 570 species and 1,500 varieties from around the world. One of Seattle's best kept secrets is yours to enjoy. The garden offers color, fragrance, and open spaces to awaken your senses all year long. It is a tribute to the devotion of the first horticulturist here, Carl S. English, Jr. During 43 years working for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Carl transformed the lawn left after the construction of the locks into a garden worthy of serious study.
