The Washington State University ‘Discovery Garden’.

For such a small space this garden really covers all the bases. I liked it because I have a small yard, and there were lots of ideas on plantings for small spaces.

The Washington State University Gardens is between the towns of La Conner and Mount Vernon in Washington state.
