Bellevue Botanical Garden

Bellevue Botanical Garden offers a vibrant oasis of Pacific Northwest flora. This 53-acre urban sanctuary is a testament to diverse horticulture and natural beauty, providing a free, accessible escape for all. It beautifully showcases plants that thrive in the region, alongside inspiring garden designs and restored natural areas, attracting over 400,000 visitors annually.

Visitors can explore a variety of meticulously curated gardens, each with its own unique character. Wander through the American-style Perennial Border, recognized as one of the largest public perennial gardens in the U.S. maintained by volunteers, boasting year-round color. Discover the serene Yao Garden, a Japanese-themed landscape honoring Bellevue's sister city, featuring delicate maples, azaleas, and stone lanterns beside a tranquil stream. Don't miss the dramatic Ravine Experience, a 150-foot suspension bridge offering unparalleled views into the native forest canopy and ravine below.

From the vibrant Fuchsia Garden, attracting hummingbirds in summer, to the educational Native Discovery Garden and the water-conserving Waterwise Garden, there's inspiration for every gardener and nature lover. Seasonal displays, like the breathtaking spring blooms of tulips, rhododendrons, and cherry blossoms, ensure a fresh experience with every visit. The garden also hosts various art installations, including "The Lost Bird Project" through late summer 2026, adding a thoughtful dimension to the natural landscape. Turn your visit into a safari!
