The Bellevue Botanical Garden

Bellevue is best known for its captains of industry and its many resident millionaires, but nestled in its heart, in Wilburton Hill Park, is this botanical treasure. The garden is really several gardens in one. The Yao Japanese Garden is a marvel of simplicity. The Alpine Garden features high-altitude plant life, and the Waterwise Garden is a more practical affair, offering numerous tips and suggestions to the amateur gardener. The gift shop sells books on plants, garden-related gifts and tools to help you succeed in your own gardening endeavors.
