An All-Ages Outdoor Holiday Experience!
Saturday, December 4, 2021 – Sunday, January 9, 2022
Thank you for another amazing year of Winter in the Woods. The photo sweepstakes winner will be announced soon!
Take a Walk in the Woods
How many fanciful snowpeople and critters can you spot on the trail? These wooden creatures, all handcrafted and decorated by Bloedel staff, are made from fallen trees and other materials found on the grounds. Pick up a map at the start of the trail when you arrive. Or download the map here.
Make a Wish for the New Year
When you arrive at the Residence lawn, you’ll find our Community Wishing Tree, which is waiting for you to decorate it with your wishes and hopes for the New Year. You’ll find wooden ornaments and pencils in the mailboxes in front of the Wishing Tree.
Give the Gift of Warm Winter Clothing
This year, we’re proud to be partnering with Kitsap Immigrant Assistance Center to hold a winter clothing drive, helping families new to our community stay warm this holiday season. Please bring a new or gently used winter clothing item to contribute. You’ll find the collection bin near the entrance.
New this Year!
