The bosque evolved over more than 40 years. Trees, shrubs & perennials were slowly added. The bosque is now composed of 5 large evergreen trees; 4 Chamaecyparis lawsoniana & 1 Thuja plicata. Acer circinatum & Sorbus gonggashanica grow at the edges. 4 hybrid Rhododendron cast additional shade. The bosque is located at the southwest corner of the property where land slopes to the west. It had been a very dry site. Plants for dry shade have been most successful there. The ground is covered mostly by Washington native forest plants & Helleborus x hybridus.
