Seattle Children’s Garden Flyer Seattle Children's (2016)

Description

Seattle Children’s has a large campus with a huge variety of plant and tree specimens.  When the 2013 Building Hope was planned, one wing of the top floor was devoted to garden spaces.  The plan includes a healing garden space for cancer patients and their families as the Cancer Care unit is adjacent to the space.  Next to the healing garden is a large rooftop garden to mitigate storm water runoff.  The plantings are native or drought tolerant, and there are design elements like raw wood benches that are typical to this geographical area.
