Take a Journey

Immerse yourself in the unique garden spaces that make up the Reserve. Originally designed by Prentice Bloedel to create a deeply intimate experience with the self, each garden unfolds from the last, creating an introspective connection with nature.

Here we offer an opportunity to deepen your understanding of the Reserve’s plants and trees, ecology, landscape design, and aesthetics.
