The Coenosium Rock Garden at the South Seattle Community College Arboretum is a very pleasant place to visit on a rainless day, even better on a rare sunny day, in winter. It is filled with dwarf conifers that look their best then. The arboretum is a great place to visit at any time of year. It will be even better when the Seattle Chinese Garden opens there. Dwarf conifers are a welcome addition to any Seattle garden, because they look so good in winter, when most other plants are bare, bedraggled or gone. The conifers at the Coenosium Rock Garden are labeled, so that you can identify favorites to add to your collection.

Yet another garden you have introduced me to which I have never even heard of before. Lovely! That Chief Joseph is so amazing, just the coolest mutation (if you have a spare $250+ kicking around to buy one, even better).
