Kruckeberg Botanic Garden is a four acre public garden containing a unique blend of Pacific Northwest native plants and unusual exotics in a naturalistic, wooded setting. The Garden was founded in 1958 by Dr. Arthur Kruckeberg and his wife Mareen, who amassed the plant collection over 50 years in the property surrounding their home.
The Garden is now owned by the City of Shoreline and operated by the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden Foundation (KBGF), a nonprofit organization. The on-site MsK Rare and Native Plant Nursery carries native plants and hardy exotics that are well suited for a Northwest garden.
Three temporary sculpture pieces loaned by Lin McJunkin, Rodger Squirrell and Tony Angell of Lake Forest Park are currently on display at the Garden and are definitely worth a visit.
