" - SamanthaGreat place! Doing important conservation work and a beautiful garden to visit.
" - RonaldWhere the Wild Things Grow indeed, some not so wild too 🙂
" - KathleenReally liked unusual, rare plants 🙂
" - K.S.Beautiful, serene. Annual pass (i.e. membership) is the best way to go because there will be many species blooming at different times. Free Bonsai garden was terrific.
" - February 28, 2014“Extensive collection as the name implies”
" - November 22, 2014What a wonderful garden!
We went on a somewhat drizzly September day on our way back to town from Tacoma.
The scope of this botanical garden is amazing! A number of roadies we had never seen or heard of before and though a lot of them were not in bloom, it was well worth the slow walk through to view the gardens, There are not just roadies but a stump garden and other features.
Truly one of Washington's best kept secrets! This hidden gem in a wooded area just off Interstate 5 in Federal Way, Wa
" - PeggyOne of the best side-trips off I-5 you will ever make. This garden will expand your mind to the amazing variation within this genus. If you think all rhodies are big green blobs that flower briefly in May, think again.
" - Linda BeutlerLove this garden. So many wonderful things to see and appreciate. My favorite is the "Stumpery." We often get so caught up in what we see above ground that we never stop to appreciate what is below. Thank you!
" - ColleenAwesome collection, beautiful flowers, rarified experience, garden shop so you can have something of the place to take home!
" - WilliamBest Botanical Garden in the PNW! And even better than most as they cultivate and sell rare and exotic species ALL at competitive and reasonable prices. Wonderful staff and Spring/Fall plant sales with additional vendors brought in.
" - TimIt was just what I needed after a stressful day.the place is beautiful.
" - LeannI am not into plants and nature. This would not be a place I pick to visit on vacation. I had the most wonderful time touring this 22 acre site! It was quiet, breath taking, beautiful and amazing!!! It allowed me the serenity to locate my inner peace!!! It eased my mind and made my light shine!!! I highly recommend and cannot wait to return!!!
