This was my second visit to McMenamins Anderson School up in Bothell, Washington. The first was in November of 2017 and featured an unexpected (and unwelcome) snow storm. This visit took place in July and thankfully the weather was perfect.
I was there to take photos for my book, Fearless Gardening, and talk with Riz Reyes, the gardens manager there.
Agave parryi...
Can you believe this planting magic? (Aeonium some something...)
The plantings are botanical garden worthy, and yet it's at a pub/hotel venue...
Another Agave parryi...
McMenamins gardeners rock it! I mean really, look at the beauty!....
The blue-green trunking yucca is a Yucca rostrata.
Agave ovatifolia
A magical patch of sarracenia...
There's the man behind the plants, or flowers in this instance, Riz Reyes. I wish I would have gotten a better shot, but he'd just handed me a bouquet of flowers, that's it in the foreground.
Come back tomorrow to see the rest of the property. Today I got a little side-tracked in the desert garden, but there is more!
