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!
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 $10. They have special picnic days, you can go with your food and have nice picnic over there, I'm also they doing weddings but not too many, because lack of parking space and also residents live in the property. You can buy ticket online or you can buy over there it was easy. I am definitely going to go back.
A lovely garden to visit right in the middle of a Seattle housing development. We visited the day before the docent tours started, but it allowed us to stroll around the grounds on our own and just take in the beauty. Not a tremendously large garden, but it has a lot to take in. We probably spent about 30-45 minutes following the roads and small trails. Looks like it would be a great place to host private events. Would love to be able to see what's blooming at each season. You should visit.
Very surprising tucked away garden. Lovely English garden style meadows and also good use of large evergreens. Enough to see/stroll to occupy a 45 minute to 1h visit.
Beautiful collections of lawns and woods, maintained nicely and very pleasant to visit
Very nice small(ish) intimate garden. 10$ donation per adult, but a membership for the year is $100 and provides for children and 4 additional adults per visit.
A little difficult to find the entrance (It is a reasonably sized gate to drive through between two regular houses). It is very well maintained and has several different areas with a good variety of plants. There are three private houses that are owned by the founders of the garden.
TL/DR: Good variety, well upkept, hard to find the first time.
What a beautiful garden! Was definitely worth seeking out!
With subtle terrain changes, I found the paths comfortable to walk on; they weren't muddy, nor overly worn. I experienced delight meandering around Dunn Gardens and marveled at the beautiful trunks and branches and definitely anticipate the bloom of blooms and shows of colors they will bring this spring!
