Friday was the first day of Spring, and what better way to celebrate than by going to one of Seattle's excellent public gardens, arboreta, or conservatories!
Seattle Parks and Recreation manage many beautiful gardens including the Washington Park Arboretum, Volunteer Park Conservatory, and the Woodland Park Zoo's gardens.
Read up on these gardens in KCLS Libraries!

If you are a gardener yourself, you may want to visit the Center for Urban Horticulture (don't miss their library!), the UW Medicinal Herb Garden, or a local nursery.
If you prefer to look at the flowers while cozy and dry in your own home, look for these KCLS books in your library!
