Kruckeberg Botanic Garden
is a public garden containing a unique blend of Pacific Northwest native plants and unusual exotics in a naturalistic, wooded setting.

The Garden is now owned by the City of Shoreline and operated by the Kruckeberg Botanic Garden Foundation (KBGF), a nonprofit organization.
