South Seattle Community College Arboretum, Botanical garden in West Seattle, United States
The South Seattle College Arboretum encompasses multiple gardens, including the Helen Sutton Rose Garden, Milton Sutton Conifer Garden, and Coenosium Rock Garden across its grounds.
Students from the landscape program initiated the establishment of the arboretum through a petition in 1978, transforming the college grounds into a botanical space.
The American Conifer Society designated the arboretum as a Western Region Reference Garden in 2014, recognizing its substantial collection of conifer species.
Visitors can explore fifteen distinct garden areas through four paths from the Entry Garden, where an information kiosk provides guidance and event details.
The Coenosium Rock Garden contains over 300 different conifer varieties, making it one of the largest dwarf conifer collections in the western United States.
