Kent knew of this curious place from a previous trip and so one day we stopped at the Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens in Woodland, Washington. I almost wept for how sad it was to be there out of season. Hulda emigrated from Germany in 1865 and became a lilac fanatic over the years. This quaint little farmhouse is the original 1889 home and the surrounding four acres is now a historic site. She herself developed 14 new varieties of lilacs, and they are all showcased in these gardens. If you're ever in the area during lilac season, it would be a sight to see.
