#6 Sue & Jack Martin
In 1966 Sue & Jack (ages 19 & 21) bought a vacant lot with a few old Douglas firs, a shrub at each corner, and a pine tree that was a twig. Now, 53 years later, there are stunning gigantic trees, lush ferns and an endless diversity of plants thanks to their lifelong work. After all these years they can hardly find a spot for a new plant, but that still doesn’t stop them from visiting nurseries and coming home with a plant or piece of art that they somehow manage to fit in. There is much to see here.
