The site is bisected by the Johnson Creek, which the native people inhabited before the 1800s. When the Leachs acquired the property in 1931, they recruited California-based landscape architect, Wilbert Davies, to develop landscaping plans for it. However, the plans were partially carried out and cut short after the founders\u2019 deaths.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_203572\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-203572\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AA_LeachBotanicalGarden_2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-203572 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AA_LeachBotanicalGarden_2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AA_LeachBotanicalGarden_2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AA_LeachBotanicalGarden_2-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AA_LeachBotanicalGarden_2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AA_LeachBotanicalGarden_2.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-203572\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> A view of the 122-m-(400-ft-) long aerial tree walk, winding in an ovoid form through a native forest of western cedar and Douglas fir, overlooking the original Leach manor house and Johnson Creek. <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Phase 1 has implemented a network of trails to reshape the garden experience. A 122-m-(400-ft-) long aerial tree walk has been built, winding in an ovoid form through a native forest of western cedar and Douglas fir, overlooking the original Leach manor house and Johnson Creek. Another crucial addition is the series of three botanic collections: Pollinator Meadow, Woodland Hillside, Southwest Garden. They aim to instill the founders\u2019 love for plants and nature and their values of environmental stewardship in visitors.<\/p>\n<p>The elevated tree walk is central to the garden. It rises above grade level, which features the newly built pavilion and fireside terrace, and reaches 10 m (35 ft) at its highest point. The bar grate decking along the tree walk allows visitors to catch a view of the forest floor, which heightens the sense of being surrounded by a canopy of trees.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_203573\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-203573\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AA_LeachBotanicalGarden_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-203573 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AA_LeachBotanicalGarden_3-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AA_LeachBotanicalGarden_3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AA_LeachBotanicalGarden_3-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AA_LeachBotanicalGarden_3-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.constructionspecifier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/AA_LeachBotanicalGarden_3.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-203573\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"> A view of the pavilion, as designed by the architect Olson Kundig, to serve as a place for rest and peace. <\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The grade-level pavilion was designed by Olson Kundig to serve as a place of rest and peace, as and a venue for event rentals.
