'South Seattle Community College Arboretum'
Gallery
The South Seattle Community College
Arboretum was established by the College and the
SSCC Foundation in 1978 in part as the result of a petition by the Landscape
Horticulture Program students for an arboretum to serve as
their living laboratory. The 6-acre site is located at the north end of campus on a
bluff over looking the City of Seattle and Elliott Bay. The
Seattle Chinese Garden borders the Arboretum.
Although the Arboretum is considered by many to be most spectacular in
spring, it has year-round interest with its beautiful rose
gardens, brilliant foliage color in autumn, and numerous winter blooming plants.
The Arboretum is also known for its extensive and unique
collections of dwarf conifers.
These beautiful surroundings, plus the barrier free environment and gentle
sloping walks, have made the Arboretum popular with both
the college community and the local community. Each June the college Foundation
sponsors a free Tour and Tea. Guided group tours are
available by appointment. To reserve the Arboretum gazebo for special events,
please call 206.768.6616 or email
ssccfoundation@sccd.ctc.edu.
This Pictorial Walking Tour contains
nearly 500 pictures arranged along 12 garden paths that
you follow while spending a day touring the Arboretum. In addition, there are a
partial set of pictures from 3 side trips: Seacrest Park,
Alki Beach, and the Chinese Garden.

the original plan. In addition to the normal growth and development of the existing
plants, the Anna Mason Perennial Garden faces a gradual
