Map

The Bellevue Botanical Garden is a 53-acre display of gardens, woodlands, meadows and wetlands. Highlights include the Northwest Perennial Alliance Border, Waterwise Garden, Yao Garden, Alpine Rock Garden and summer displays of dahlias and fuchsias. Natural and manmade vistas of color and greenery change, delighting the eye regardless of the season or weather throughout the year.

This is one of those places that you didn't know existed and when you find out about it, you wonder why, or maybe it is just me... maybe I don't read the right sections of the newspaper.

Tours are available at the Visitors Center April-October on Saturday and Sunday at 2pm. It’s a great way to get away form the rat race.
