| Description |
<p>Volunteers established the Highline Botanical Garden Foundation to protect two significant gardens impacted by the third runway proposal for SeaTac Airport. The Foundation relocated thousands of plants from to the North SeaTac Park with the help of volunteers, the City of SeaTac, and the Port of Seattle.</p>
<p>There is still plenty of space to share additional stories in the form of gardens as more than five and a half of the site's eleven acres have been planted. Infrastructure was built by the Foundation to support the garden, including irrigation, walkways, a drainage system, and a water feature to highlight the Park's natural surroundings. According to the Garden's master plan, expansion happens as funding becomes available. In the State of Washington, the Highline Botanical Garden Foundation (HBGF) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization.</p>
<p>The garden started with preserving and moving two significant local gardens into what’s now known as the Highline SeaTac Botanical Garden. The Lin’s Peony Garden is no different. Eugene Lin propagated numerous varieties of Peonies which he sold and shipped internationally. His son has collected most of the original specimens and kept them in his garden in South King County Washington. With age, he finds it difficult to care for these noteworthy plants and is donating them to the Garden.</p>
