 THE PROPERTY

Work on the grounds began in 1995. 
Only 7 trees were kept from
the farmhouse's original landcape. 
Today, nine acres of the 51-acre farm
are dedicated to gardens
and feature a variety of styles and plant material....
simple, cottage gardens to
more formal, European-inspired designs. 
 
The gardens are private,
but are open for charitable events
throughout the year.

Rod Juntunen
Rod spent his childhood in Skagit Valley. 
He graduated from the University of Washington's landscape architecture program 
and started his own company,
in 1975. 
To enhance his landcape design and construction company,
Rod returned to Mount Vernon
to grow landscape trees. 
Currently over 20,000 trees are in production.
 
Rod served on the board of Skagit Artists Together,
is a life-time member of the
Seattle Children's Hospital Guild Association 
and a member of the Burkland-Johnson Guild.
 
Mari Juntunen
Mari grew up in Renton and spent summers working on the family's Bainbridge Island farm. 
As a 4th-generation Washingtonian,
she is continuing the family tradition of farming. 
Her touches can be seen
throughout the farm and gardens. 
 

 
Mari is a life-time member of Seattle Children's Hospital Guild Association,
a board trustee, and a member of
