Set out starts of cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Plant onions, garlic, shallots and leeks. This tour is being billed as new and improved because half the gardens on the tour are new in that they have not been featured on the tour before and the other half have been on the tour but have been improved. Tickets and maps are available at all garden sites. This garden complements a newly restored Queen Anne Victorian house in the historic district of Eureka.
Chipped paths wind around spacious beds of herbs, wildflowers, succulents, kiwis and strawberries.
The garden can be enjoyed from a variety of rest areas including a greenhouse, fire pit, barbecue and picnic tables. The garden was designed as a learning resource for third and fourth graders studying Humboldt County history and horticulture, but it appeals to people of all ages. It's emphasis is garden art, rather than plants. To enter the garden is to step into a quiet gently broken by the sound of water from a fountain. A brick path leads the visitor past a visual feast including a masterful privacy screen and John King's clever, colorful tiles and planters.
