Part of the Seattle Park System, the Park features 14 P-Patch plots on the south half and a landscaped display garden maintained by Master Gardeners on the north half. After two years of planning, in January 2003 Master Gardeners began building the planting design for their landscaped portion of the Park. The purpose of the garden is to integrate educational aspects of home garden design, plant selection, pruning and maintenance in a home-like landscape, highlighting those plants found in the neighborhoods of Seattle.\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"wsu-card__content-custom\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"wsu-cta \" >\n\t<a \t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.seattle.gov\/parks\/allparks\/thyme-patch-park\"\t\n\t\tclass=\"wsu-button  wsu-button--style-action\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\tThyme Patch Park Demonstration Garden &#8211; Seattle Parks\t\t\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/article>\n\n<article class=\"wsu-card  wsu-border-top--color-crimson wsu-color-background--gray-5\">\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-image-frame wsu-image--ratio-16-9\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2024\/08\/MG-TribalLifeTrail_02.jpg\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2024\/08\/MG-TribalLifeTrail_02.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wpcdn.web.wsu.edu\/extension\/uploads\/sites\/29\/2024\/08\/MG-TribalLifeTrail_02-300x225.jpg 300w\"\r\n\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\"\r\n\t\t\t\talt=\"totem on trail at Tribal Life Trail\"\r\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"object-position: 50% 50%\"\r\n\t\t\t\/>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"wsu-card__content\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"wsu-title  wsu-font-size--large\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTribal Life Trail Demonstration Garden\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wsu-caption\">\r\n\t\t\t\tLocated at the Lake Wilderness Arboretum, 22520 SE 248th Street,\u00a0Maple Valley.<br><br>The Tribal Life Trail is a trail-style demonstration garden that focuses on plants used by native peoples of the Pacific Northwest.
