In, over 3 decades Kathy has transformed a weedy, second growth forest into a unique private garden, winding down toward Lake Washington on a steep 1,000-foot-long walk. She has expanded and grown it into a utopia of rare plants, exotic fowl, native habitat and so much more.
Whimsical eclecticism is Kathy’s guiding principal when it comes to Champagne Creek. Kathy hopes that sharing her enchantment with it will bring inspiration and magic to all who view it. Come and see the towering statue of Anubis, the Doge’s Palace, the dovecote, funnel fern garden, and so much more.
Kathy utilizes the natural contours of the site and repurposes its available materials. Walkways are edged with found stones; fallen branches from the beautiful native Arbutus menziesii are used to build plant supports, arbors and chicken roosts. Cedar and Douglas fir create boardwalks and bridges, and items abandoned on the property at the turn of the century are given new life.
Their newest expansion is a stunning glass house where guests will enjoy treats and view the Living Wall in the Winter Garden.
