Bellevue Botanical Garden Docent-Led Tour
Tour the Bellevue Botanical Garden’s extensive and varied gardens at their summer peak. Knowledgeable docents will lead tour groups of 10 UWRA members. After the tour, continue exploring the gardens on your own, or gather at the garden’s cafe with others from the UWRA group.
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.
Free parking is available in the lot on the east side of the Garden, and there are numerous transit options (you can read about them at this link).
Please arrive a few minutes early, to allow the tours to start on time.
Accessibility notes: Parking lot and pathways around buildings are paved. The majority of main Garden pathways are covered with 3/8 minus gravel, which is an ADA-compliant material.
