Winding paths and benches invite you to view the garden slowly and mindfully in all of its detail - stones water lanterns bridges buildings plants and animals. The Seattle Garden is a traditional formal Japanese Garden and Kubota was a great juxtaposition. Kubota Garden is a 20-acre 81000 m² Japanese garden in the Rainier Beach neighborhood of Seattle Washington.
Then he built a family home and created a nursery business and eventually a garden. FINAL VERSION This week I would like to describe in words and images a delightful visit we had last weekend to the Kubota Garden a park in Seattle that I had never been aware before our visit. Hidden in South Seattle this 20 acre landscape blends Japanese garden concepts with native Northwest plants.
The resulting site is in a spectacular setting of hills and valleys interlaced with streams waterfalls ponds bridges and rock outcroppings. I love Kubota Garden. Kubota Garden located in southeast Seattle at 9817 55th Avenue S and operated by the Seattle Parks and Recreation Department combines native Northwest plants with traditional Japanese garden designs that feature hills valleys streams ponds waterfalls and rock outcroppings.
It is a tranquil place well maintained peaceful and gorgeous. Kubota was a horticultural pioneer who began combining Japanese design techniques with North American materials in his display garden in 1927. Located in south Seattle it is definitely worth the drive.
The Japanese Garden was completed between 1938 to 1940. The gardens were designed and built by Fujitaro Kubota 1879-1973. Image of fine summer gardens - 116695477.
