Bellevue Botanical Garden

Bellevue Botanical Garden (14.5 ha / 36 acres) is a botanical garden located at 12001 Main Street, Bellevue, Washington. It is open daily; admission is free.

The garden area includes display gardens, woodlands, meadows and wetlands. Its specific collections include: an alpine rock garden, dahlia garden, entrance garden, fuchsia garden, ground cover garden, Lost Meadow Trail (with western redcedar, Douglas-fir, bigleaf maple and vine maple, plus native shrubs), native discovery garden, perennial border, water-wise garden, and the Yao garden (a Japanese-style stroll garden with maples, viburnums, hydrangeas, etc.)

A popular event at the garden each year is the holiday light festival Garden d'Lights where numerous three-dimensional plant and animal sculptures made from bundled Christmas lights are on display in numerous nature-themed scenes through the garden. Hundreds of volunteers work to help make the show happen each year. Admission is free, however, donations are encouraged. The event runs from the first Saturday after Thanksgiving through New Year's Eve.
