The ladies who ran the place smiled and welcomed us to have tea and cookies and it was so enchanting. It felt like a fairy might fly up and sprinkle us with pixie dust as we wandered through the garden. They gave us plant advice and confirmed that no, mangoes would have a hard time growing in the PNW, so they would help us to talk our mom into maybe planting something native that was just as lovely. The little Radio Flyer type wagons are perfect for towing your purchases/pups/children around as you saunter through the greenery. So glad we got the recommendation to visit and we promise we'll be back as soon as this rainy season lets up.

It made us feel really uncomfortable because she was just following us and didn't say anything. It was nice of her to show us around but she kept on following us. Especially this older gentleman. We still didn't know if they wanted us to leave or they liked us. You have to pay to go out back and see all the bonsai's. Inside is cool. We couldn't see most of it because in some areas it's hard to get around.

An incredible and inspiring collection of bonsai specimens. Dan Robinson is a kind genius with an…read moreover 60 years of experience in cultivating and styling bonsai trees. The garden exhibiting his life's work and collection is a hidden treasure that will leave you awe struck; unlike anything you have ever seen. His work and bonsai styling incorporates many aspects of traditional design while taken to another level of creativity that is all his own. It may take an hour to drive from Seattle/Bellevue but you will likely spend more than that time admiring the location of the garden and the incredible bonsai.

We only had 45-mins left in our time in this area as we had a family thing to go to. So we went through this park rather quickly. But even so, I have a lots and lots of pictures. Flowers in different shades of reds, oranges, pinks, purples, yellows and white against the green lush trees, leaves and ground covering. Well marked gravel paths, plenty of seating, a large open grassy area of family picnics and space for children to run around. Our time here was well spent. And you, I had to stop back in to the gift shop and pick up a magnet. We didn't see many staff members including the groundskeepers but the cashier at the gift shop was friendly and helpful. Free parking and entry fee into this botanical park is a reasonable $12 per adult, no military discount, there is senior and children discounts available. Highly recommend if you're in the Federal Way area.

I found this botanical garden out of chance on a Sunday afternoon because my family wanted…read moresomewhere to walk around. Anyway, I didn't know this garden was located in the empty Weyerhaeuser building area. You should know that the garden is divided into two sections: the bonsai section is 100% donation. The other side, which contains all the Rhododendron plants, requires admission fees. I visited the garden expecting it to fully bloom in different color schemes like the Botanical Garden at the UW area, but everything was in green color. My husband mentioned that we'd need to revisit this garden but in the spring time, when the flowers would fully bloom then. Check out my photos for the garden view. I enjoyed the Bonsai section because we got to see the carpentry art from a dude, who basically built everything from wood sticks. The exhibit was cool to look at, in addition to the Bonsai tree collection displays. Now, I want a Bonsai tree myself!
