Japanese botanical garden seattle. The idea for a japanese garden in seattle had formed by 1909 but it wasn t until 1957 that planning for a japanese garden in the arboretum began in earnest. Later in conjunction with the 1962 seattle world fair they hired a gardener to come from hiroshima and build an authentic japanese garden in toll s honor.
