Welcome to Edgewood Garden

Edgewood Garden, located in Edgewood, Washington, USA, is the current project of Ilga Jansons and Michael Dryfoos. This is the second large-scale garden we have created. This one is on 32 acres, centered on a large, Northwest Contemporary house, with lots of sun and a stunning view of Mt. Rainier.

When Ilga and Mike purchased the property, at the end of 2003, there was little by way of a garden. The structures and plantings in place now have all been developed since that time. The evolution of the garden is ongoing, and there are new things to see every year!

In 2010, there will be one open garden, on Saturday June 12th, from 10:00 - 4:00. There will be an admission charge, benefitting the Garden Conservancy and Chase Garden. Please check back closer to the date for more information.

In very special situations, we will also be available by appointment, please email to inquire.

Watch for an article about Edgewood Garden in the Seattle Times Pacific Northwest Magazine, slated to appear Sunday June 6th!

Click on the buttons or the photographs below to see pictures of various parts of the garden. The Daily Photo button links to a daily record of what has caught our eye in the garden right now, updated (nearly) every day. The other buttons are some of our favorite images showing different aspects of the garden over the years.

The buttons below will take you to Ilga's new garden blog, some older garden articles she has written, a partial plant list, and links to other interesting garden sites.

We maintain our own weather station here at Edgewood Garden, using a Davis Vantage Pro weather station and Davis WeatherLink software. We are participants in the Citizen Weather Observation Program (CWOP) of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and report our data as CWOP designator CW1112. Data collected under CWOP is used in ongoing weather research and prediction modeling, and is incorporated into the NOAA Mesonet Map Display.
