On a hot day in July I drove with a friend to visit Dale's Garden in Mt Vernon Washington about 60 miles north of Seattle.  This is a large private garden.  Dale is a friend of mine.  He started gardening here 10 years ago, grateful the previous gardeners had left a fairly nice garden.  Dale added many beautiful & interesting plants.  His garden was full of flowers in mid-July.  Surrounded by forest, the garden has areas of both shade & sun.  There are Astilbe, a very large Adiantum aleuticum, Hosta, Impatiens omeiensis & Rhododendron in the shady areas.  The sunny areas are filled with Cistus, Calluna, Hemerocallis, Hydrangea, Penstemon & Sedum.
