Explore the Gardens

The Bellevue Botanical Garden is 53 acres of cultivated gardens, restored woodlands, and natural wetlands. The living collections showcase plants that thrive in the Pacific Northwest. As you explore the Garden, you’ll discover what makes our region unique, ideas for working with the landscape to create your own beautiful garden, and ways to be responsible stewards of the Pacific Northwest environment.

The Garden is made up of several smaller gardens to delight and educate our visitors. Each garden has its own focus and character. Below you will find descriptions of each individual garden area and what you’ll find there.

Our individual gardens can be reached from the Tateuchi Loop Trail, the main pathway through the Garden, shown as a dotted line on the map. The trail begins and ends near the main entrance and connects the Groundcover Garden, Rhododendron Glen, Yao Garden, Native Discovery Garden, Perennial Border, Waterwise Garden, Urban Meadow, and Rock Garden. The Lost Meadow Trail and the pathway to the Ravine Experience and suspension bridge branch from the main loop. You can also download the map to see the location of each garden area.

We hope to see you soon!
