We visited the Bellevue Botanical Garden the other night to take advantage of the beautiful weather and the springtime blooms. There were kids running around the paths and the flowers and rhododendrons were out in their glory. Unfortunately, the mosquitoes were too, and if there is one thing that I hate, it is mosquitoes. We took a quick walk around the gardens, but I think we'll be coming back again when it is windy, or a little earlier in the day.
I particularly enjoyed the Yao Garden, and I've heard good things about the Perennial Border and the 1/3 mile loop trail (a good length for kids!). Next time we'll have to frequent those.
The garden is open dawn till dusk and is free. Check out the picnic area by the parking lot if you'd like to bring along dinner.
Directions here.
