History The NPA Border has been a featured attraction at the Bellevue Botanical Garden since the garden opened in 1992. Charles Price, Glenn Withey, Bob Lilly and Carrie Becker designed the original border. In 2008, a large project to incorporate stairs and paths through the Border was accomplished through a successful partnership between NPA and the Bellevue Botanical Garden, the City of Bellevue Parks Planning and Resource Management divisions, and the Bellevue Botanical Garden Society with Price and Withey doing the Border re-design. As all gardens do, the NPA Border continues to evolve, showcasing a diverse collection of perennials, bulbs, grasses, trees, and shrubs. It is one of the largest public mixed borders in the country maintained by volunteers. |
