Moment of prayer at Hiroshima Ginkgo planted at Seattle Japanese Garden.
Dr. Susan Ott, our dedicated partner in Seattle Japanese Friendship Garden, has sent the photo of the ginkgo sapling, just before its leaves fell off in October. Other Hiroshima seedlings grow healthy in the greenhouse.
Dr. Susan Ott, our wonderful partner at the Seattle Japanese Garden, sent us news of the planting ceremony of the Hiroshima Ginkgo on 5th October. The Mayor of Seattle, the Consul General of Japan, and the Superintendent of the Seattle Parks were all there, to help in the planting. A lovely plaque, set in a gracious Japanese-style stone, marked the event.

Article “A Legacy of Peace, Planted in Our Garden" was published in the Seattle Japanese Garden's blog post and the Washington Park Arboretum's magazine.
The SJG became a GLH global partner as part of their 60th anniversary celebrations. Seeds of five different species among the Hiroshima hibaku jumoku - Camellia, Celtis, Diospyros, Ginkgo, and Ilex—are being nurtured at the University of Washington Botanic Gardens. We look forward from across the Pacific Ocean to seeing these saplings planted, and flourishing in their beautiful surroundings, reminding us all of the gifts of peace, resilience, and friendships.
