Secret Garden: the Second Magic Mission ~ CLUES

Planted by: Marissa Moon and her dad, MoonPop, on 8/2/12

Active as of: 10/06/23

Your mission will take place at Evergreen Park, a kid-friendly park near the Lake Hills Library. (Directions: From I-90, take 156th Avenue SE exit north. Turn right on Lake Hills Blvd. Park is on the right. Courtesy: www.bellevuewa.gov/evergreen.html) It is a small oasis of green in the suburbs, and perhaps my favorite park that I have visited. As such, this particular letterbox is especially near to my heart; hopefully others will experience the magic of Evergreen Park as well. It is a real Secret Garden.

***

The princess of the Secret Garden awaits you as your carriage arrives and parks in her small circle drive on the garden's south side. She greets you and leads you up a small incline past her lawns and gazebo to enter her castle. Her floor is bejeweled with the imprints of leaves and you notice ongoing construction to expand her palace.

She sits on her throne beneath a glorious maple as she explains that she has lost a treasure in her garden. After this, the princess rises to lead you to a balcony overlooking her secret garden. Her gown swishes like autumn leaves in the wind as she turns to tell you this, "Just yesterday afternoon, I was walking the small path on the far side of the garden. I was quite past the greenhouse, so 'twas very near the village lane. Indeed, I had ventured some distance - even past the large bush - 'ere it struck me that my treasure was gone!"

The princess shows you onto her balcony and down the steps into her garden and wishes you well before returning into her palace.

So you begin walking across the garden. You move between two pillars and pass by a sitting area. Shortly, you reach the path the princess mentioned. You can see the lane leading to the village just beyond the borders of her garden. She keeps her ivy neatly pruned to one side, and you have already noticed a large bush directly in front of you, growing out of the ivy. It's leaves are shaped as elongated green circles which narrow to a point at one end. You kneel and begin to look through the leaves at the bush's base. It is here that you discover the Treasure of the Secret Garden...

Please DO NOT remove ANY treasure from the letterbox. Please ensure the letterbox is well concealed after you have exchanged stamps and resealed baggies/lids.

Do not fail the princess!
