The Goodfellow Grove demonstrates the use of native plants in a transition landscape, flowing from a highly maintained, intensively used space to a low-maintenance, "naturalistic" one. The transitional nature of this garden can be observed in the way the formality of the landscape adjacent to Center buildings gives way to more informal plantings and maintenance towards the Union Bay Natural Area.
The garden features native plant species from the Pacific Northwest. Generally, the peak of bloom is mid spring to early summer, though autumn color can be outstanding.
Discover and find solitude in this garden and enjoy the diversity of flora native to our region.
Funding for the grove has come from family and friends of the late Marilou Goodfellow.
