Do you know about Dunn Gardens?

I have been volunteering at Dunn Gardens, an amazing 7.5 acre Seattle garden on the National Register of Historic Places. I'm wondering how many serious gardeners know about the gardens. It is quite wonderful. I recently wrote an article about it with numerous photos on my blog/magazine. Please have a look.

Here is a link that might be useful: Dunn Gardens: a National Treasure Hidden in a Seattle Neighborhood

Lovely garden and well worth a visit (in season!!) and the curators, Glenn Withey and Charles Price, are a hoot. But IMO, it doesn't hold a candle to the Elisabeth C. Miller Garden, which is also located in the same general vicinity (The Highlands) and also offers tours. A marvelous collection of plants, some quite rare and unusual, and carefully arranged. Also home to the Great Plant Picks program.
