Kubota Gardens Natural Area - Planting Event at Kubota …11/01/2025

Activities

Join EarthCorps and Seattle Parks and Recreation as we work to restore this beloved park. Located in the Rainier Beach Neighborhood in SE Seattle, Kubota Garden is an American-Japanese Garden designed and built by Mr. Fujitaro Kubota. Construction of this gem began in 1927 and lasted beyond the lifetime of Mr. Kubota. Today, the Gardens are owned by the City of Seattle and maintained by the Seattle Parks Department. The garden is surrounded by a natural buffer of urban forest, some of which has only recently been acquired by the city.

During this event, we'll be removing planting native trees, shrubs, and ground cover and other maintenance tasks. Water, tea, snacks, and tools will be provided.

All ages OK

5 out of 35 participants registered.

What to Bring

Come dressed for the weather (rain or shine) in clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes (rubber boots, hiking shoes or boots), long sleeves, long pants, warm layers and rain jacket. We'll have tools and gloves for you to use, as well as a mid-morning snack. Help reduce waste by bringing your own water bottle!
