Duwamish Native Plant Trail
Explore Dunn Gardens’ pre-Olmsted roots along the Duwamish Native Plant Trail, where 27 native plants highlight the deep connection between the Duwamish people and this landscape.
The trail winds through Ed’s Woodlands and into a ravine once used by the Duwamish to travel between Puget Sound and their summer camps at Bitter Lake. Look for large stones etched with a salmon to discover plants of significance, each marked with a tag featuring its Lushootseed, common, and scientific names.
We invite you to explore this special addition to Dunn Gardens and discover a landscape with a history that reaches back long before the Gardens’ Olmsted legacy.

Mission Statement
We preserve and enhance Dunn Gardens as a public resource, celebrating the original 1915 Olmsted design and showcasing the evolution of garden design in the Pacific Northwest.
Equity & Access Commitment
Dunn Gardens is committed to equity, accessibility, and inclusion. Designed in 1915 by the Olmsted Brothers Landscape firm, the garden reflects a history in which access to green space was often limited. Today, we strive to reduce barriers and ensure that all visitors feel welcome, respected, and able to fully experience this historic public garden.
Land Acknowledgement Statement
We acknowledge Dunn Gardens' location on the ancestral homelands of the Duwamish and other Indigenous Peoples. We honor the land, plants, and animals, and the Peoples who have shepherded them through time immemorial. We celebrate the resilience, strength and enduring presence of Indigenous Peoples and commit to stewardship through our preservation of this healing landscape.
