Barbie's Garden is on my street in the next block south of my house. The house was built in 2013, along with 11 others of the same shape & size (tall & narrow) in the Rainier Vista development in Seattle. I call it Barbie's Garden because of the candy colors that remind me of Barbie's Dream House. I spoke to the woman who lives there. She told me the garden was created by her sister. Plants in Barbie's Garden include Canna, Dahlia, Lantana, Zinnia & Pink Polka-Dot Plant (Hypoestes phyllostachya) which is just perfect for Barbie. Many of these are annual plants. I wonder what will replace them next season. It is the most interesting & best-maintained garden on that block & perhaps in all of Rainier Vista, which has a lot of dismal landscaping.
