Our Mission

The mission of the Highline Botanical Garden Foundation is “Connecting the community to nature through a diverse and beautiful collection of historical gardens”.

The Highline Botanical Garden Foundation was created by volunteers, to preserve two important gardens impacted by SeaTac Airport’s proposed third runway. Through a partnership between volunteers, the City of SeaTac, and the Port of Seattle, the Foundation moved thousands of plants from to the North SeaTac Park.
