Pioneer Memorial Park grows into an arboretum
In 1951, when the Sequim Prairie Garden Club first began to clear the 4-acre plot of what would become Pioneer Memorial Park, the site was choked with weeds and blackberry vines so thick that eventually “they found that an entire cow had become entangled and died,” according to Priscilla Hudson and Laura Singer’s “Sequim Prairie Garden Club and Pioneer Memorial Park, the Early Years.”
