This is a garden whose visual poetry one must ultimately experience first hand without words and concepts in order to fully appreciate the wonder and awe of its beauty. Enter its many curvy paths and winding trails and find your self and your still point in a meditative garden retreat that will leave you feeling revitalized and somehow a more complete person who lives and breathes more in sync with the rhythms of nature. From Seattle Parks and Recreation: "Hidden in South Seattle, Kubota Garden is a stunning 20 acre landscape that blends Japanese garden concepts with native Northwest plants. The city acquired the property, which is an historic landmark, in 1987 from the estate of master landscaper Fujitaro Kubota. Kubota was a horticultural pioneer when he began merging Japanese design techniques with North American materials in his display garden in 1927. The Gardens are a spectacular setting of hills and valleys, interlaced with streams, waterfalls, ponds, bridges, and rock out-croppings with a rich array of plant material."
