A Legacy of Peace, Planted in Our Garden

The Seattle Japanese Garden web site honors the history of the garden with this beautiful story of collaboration between Japan and Seattle to honor the 60th Anniversary.  Susan Ott-Ralph has been working with the Green Legacy Hiroshima Initiative to bring "peace trees" into our garden.

In January, 2020, Susan delivered these seed to be propagated.  They are all from plants that survived the atomic bombing in Hiroshima.  By growing these seeds we commemorate the lives lost in Hiroshima and Nagasaki and become an ambassador for the initiative's message of peace and love of the natural world.
