Winter Garden
Yakima Area Arboretum
A bright mid-autumn day was a great opportunity to stroll through the Yakima Area Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. The Winter Garden welcomes visitors to the arboretum. This is the fourth autumn for the garden which was installed in the spring of 2023. During these first four years the initial plantings have established themselves. A large walnut tree originally provided a beautiful background for the curving path. It has since passed leaving an open vista through the crabapple and nut groves. It is time to start planning for a second set of plantings through the garden.
