About this audio guide
This guide to Bhy Kracke Park in Seattle follows Werner Bhy Kracke, a retired bank auditor who gardened obsessively on this steep Queen Anne hillside, dreaming it could rival Butchart Gardens. By 1970 he faced a choice between selling to developers and giving the land to the city, and he priced his gift at twenty thousand dollars to finish the job properly. Then, sailing home from Hawaii in 1971, he died before he could sign the money over.
