Leach植物园是为了纪念忠实的植物学家约翰-利奇(John Leach)和莉拉-利奇(Lilla Leach)对西北太平洋地区本土植物研究做出的伟大贡献而建,这里也是他们的故居。由景观建筑事务所Land Morphology主导,新的总体规划包括对16英亩的园区进行场地花园提升改造,以及由Olson Kundig设计的数个新结构体。第一阶段施工包括2020年开放的新凉亭、炉边露台和高架树林步道,以及开放式活动草坪、无障碍通道,并对场地平整、停车和交通进行改进。未来阶段将增加一系列的花园和建筑群,以容纳接待中心、办公室和礼品店、活动中心和合伙人办公室。
The former home of devoted botanists John and Lilla Leach, Leach Botanical Garden celebrates their contributions to the study of native plants in the Pacific Northwest. A new master plan led by landscape architects Land Morphology includes site and garden improvements for the 16-acre campus, as well as new structures designed by Olson Kundig. The first phase of implementation includes a new arbor, fireside terrace and elevated tree walk, which opened in 2020, as well as an open event lawn, accessible pathway, and improvements to grading, parking and circulation. Future phases will add a series of gardens and a complex of buildings to host a welcome center, offices and gift shop, event center and partner offices.
