Western Washington - Inspiring Garden Ideas for all Gardeners

Western Washington State is a gardener’s dream, offering a range of climates, seasons, and plant options to cater to various preferences. The region’s maritime influence results in cool, wet winters and mild, dry summers, creating an ideal environment for a wide array of plants. Gardeners can utilize the Sunset Climate Zone system to better understand their specific microclimate and select suitable plants for their gardens.

Sunset Climate Zones

Western Washington State primarily falls within Sunset Climate Zones 1, 4, 5, and 6. 

Garden Styles

Western Washington State’s diverse landscape allows for various garden styles, including:

  • Cottage Gardens: Charming and informal, these gardens feature a mix of flowers, vegetables, and herbs.
  • Native plant gardens: Focusing on indigenous plants, this style fosters biodiversity and requires less maintenance.
  • Japanese gardens: Emphasizing simplicity and balance, these gardens often incorporate water features, rocks, and pruned plants.
