Fabulous fall colors, a fungi Walk, a floral arranging demo, a moss garden walk, a zen garden demo, Jazz with Jenny Maybee, and of course the annual Squash Scavenger Hunt: it's all part of Founders Weekend at the Bloedel Reserve, which celebrates its 30th anniversary October 20-21. Listen here as Bloedel's Executive Director Ed Moydell shares highlights from the fascinating history of this award-winning island treasure. You'll learn some little-known facts about the garden's history, Prentice Bloedel’s vision, the Reserve's plans for the future, and -- just for fun -- how the first Annual October Squash Scavenger Hunt came to be!
