"Beautiful collections of lawns and woods, maintained nicely and very pleasant to visit"
"Very surprising tucked away garden. Lovely English garden style meadows and also good use of large evergreens. Enough to see/stroll to occupy a 45 minute to 1h visit."
"Amazing, beautiful Garden, well designed, organized and maintained and designed, very big variety of flowers, bushes and trees. It's open to public but you have to go only with appointment, because it's only group tours and you have to get the ticket which is only $10. They have special picnic days, you can go with your food and have nice picnic over there, I'm also they doing weddings but not too many, because lack of parking space and also residents live in the property. You can buy ticket online or you can buy over there it was easy. I am definitely going to go back."
"Hidden away in a neighborhood - when you find the entrance, it feels like a secret! I really enjoyed just walking around, but there are guided tours, which seems to be the thing to do. The flowers are just phenomenal in the spring and I love the heather bank and the mature trees. There is a main drive and wide lawns, as well as little wooded paths and hidden water features and rock walls. There are a few parking space in here - don't be afraid to check first before parking in the neighborhood. Payment is via a QR on the phone, not a cash box or anything. Well worth seeking out!"
"A lovely garden to visit right in the middle of a Seattle housing development. We visited the day before the docent tours started, but it allowed us to stroll around the grounds on our own and just take in the beauty. Not a tremendously large garden, but it has a lot to take in. We probably spent about 30-45 minutes following the roads and small trails. Looks like it would be a great place to host private events. Would love to be able to see what's blooming at each season. You should visit."
