Hello, my fellow Nature Aficionados!  😄 🌿 

 Are you ready to immerse yourself in a slice of patchwork paradise? Look no further than the Bloedel Reserve, where nature is at it’s  most dazzling  🌳 This isn’t your grandma’s backyard— it is a stunning 140 acres of pure imagination and creativity mixed with the undiluted love that Prentice and Virginia Bloedel sprinkled onto the canvas of this natural world. 

Curated gardens,  Structural marvels and distinctive landscapes.  The Bloedel Reserve opened for all of us in 1988, and ever since, it’s been a not-for-profit magnificent and serene place to re-center and gather your thoughts.   This Reserve/Forest is so magicial and healing.  

Everyone has great gratitude to The Suquamish People, People of the Clear Salt Water. They lovingly sustained the land where these healing landscapes thrive. 🌳  

Ways to explore- Suggesting you’ll want at least 2 hours ❤️

With Museums for All you can slide into this green dream on the first Wednesday of each month.  That’s right, pay what you wish and be a part of the story.  Experience Forest Therapy firsthand.  Find your own nature mood board, there are endless possibilities.   🌺🌳 🌟

Consider this:

Out of all of the beauty I’ve experienced in this area. This place is a must experience, a nurturing place, and I can’t recommend going there enough.

It is not to bring dogs and pets. It is not to power walk talking on your phone. It is a place to slow down and enjoy nature. Namaste !–See their website for details on getting timed tickets and when they have special events and discounted prices.
