DISCOVER Everett’s premier public gardenS
Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens is 3 ½ acres of beauty in Everett’s American Legion Memorial Park, maintained by a small army of volunteers and garden curators with help from Everett Parks and Facilities. Its twelve themed gardens include the Urban Tree Walk, Rock Garden, Northwest Native Plant Trail, Japanese Maple Grove, Nativar Garden, Backyard Garden, Horizontal Rock Garden, Viewing Mound, Woodland Garden & Fernery, Conifer Garden, Sedum Bowls and Snohomish County Master Gardeners’ Demonstration Border. Twenty three sculptures punctuate the landscape, complete with ADA-approved pathways. There are countless ways to enjoy all that Evergreen Arboretum has to offer, all of them free: docent-led tours, educational classes and attendance at family fun events. Come witness the beauty that every season holds.
