No, this is the one by the Washington Park Arboretum. I didn't get a chance to visit Kubota.

Oh, nice. I love their greenhouse. I rode my motorcycle by the Arboretum today down to Seward and back to Dexter. Had lunch on Lake Wa.

Thanks! I've had it under a month. It's such a blast to rip around town with. 20,000 original miles from 1975.

This looks like an episode of TNG. The planet's prime minister must be near.

Or a friendly priest who is being controlled by an evil entity of some sort

Hello from Wisconsin! I was in town a couple weeks ago for a vacation. Very lovely!

For (more) folks who have visited both, I'm curious how this compares with Portland's Japanese garden.

[–] mbp@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 days ago

Portland's is pretty fuckin dope.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

Such a lovely spot right in the middle of the city! We’ve had perfect weather to visit lately, too. Thanks for sharing :)

Nice shot!

I think the one in Portland is better.

[–] Tujio@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You'd have to spend the whole day drinking craft brews and mainlining reefer to think that.

Oh. Wait. Portland.

Or people can like different things...? They didn't say anything bad about the picture or even the Seattle garden in general. I read their comment as a compliment. There's no reason to shit on them.

[–] Tujio@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Ha. You're reading more malice than exists there. Portland is famous for having excellent craft beer and plentiful weed. That's the joke.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. I can be a bit dense sometimes. I'm just north in the Vancouver area so am quite familiar with their goods 😎

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

And I can't use either of them. Waaahhhhh
