The Urban Garden

Located at the NW corner of 7th Avenue & Union Street in downtown Seattle. Several types of giant flowers bloom atop a large steel flowerpot. In the course of a 15-minute cycle, after they are periodically watered by a watering can, the stalk of blue flowers open and close. A viewing window enables viewers to see the interior mechanisms at work. The flowerpot saucer provides seating, as well as nearby benches. Completed July 2011.
