Bloedel Reserve

Bloedel Reserve is a 150-acre public garden on Bainbridge Island, created in the 20th century by notable timber baron Prentice Bloedel. The property features diverse landscapes, including a moss garden, a reflection pond, and meticulously curated flower beds, all designed to showcase the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest. Visiting the reserve offers a tranquil escape, with well-marked trails that encourage a leisurely exploration of the carefully landscaped grounds. The best time to visit is during spring and summer when the blooms are at their peak, and it’s a short drive from the ferry terminal, making it easily accessible for a day trip from Seattle.
