It was a real pleasure to visit the Weyerhaeuser Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection
recently. It is located on the Weyerhaeuser Campus in Federal Way, Washington.
Federal Way is nor th of Tacoma and south of Seattle. The biggest takeaway for
me from the visit was the overwhelming sense of the infinite patience and attention
to detail of the creators of these works of ar t. The oldest specimen on display was75 years old while most were in the 40 to 50 year old category. The cover picture
is of an azalea which was in full bloom, stunning. You access the garden on foot
and it is a shor t pleasant walk through a towering forest of mostly Douglas Fir.
Many rhododendron and native species are along the path providing an inviting
welcome.
