Dear Friends,
We continue to grow, not only as a business, but as a medium
between plants and gardeners, plant collectors, horticulturalists,
and new garden apprentices. Each of us impacts the other, as we
change our environs and our relationship to it.
The foundation of the garden and nursery has and will always be
the “rhododendron”, some being 50 to 80 years of age, while others
are just first graders, or teenagers. Interspersed among this
prestigious group is a wonderful selection of magnolias, maples,
kalmias, camellias, conifers and a growing variety of bulbs,
perennials and ornamental trees.
We continue to collect plants from around the world and add them
to our garden and nursery. As a result, the consumer has a greater
choice than ever before, of not only new plants, but those time
honored ones.
Our experienced and dedicated staff is here to serve and assist
you with your horticultural needs. Thank you for that privilege,
as we pride ourselves in being given that honor.
Bloom Time: The peak blooming season usually occurs around
Mothers' Day. However, many rhododendrons, azaleas, kalmias,
flowering trees and shrubs continue to bloom well into June and
a few into early July. Early blooming rhododendrons start
showing color in early February. Fragrant rhododendrons and
azaleas bloom in late April and early May.
The Autumn leaf color occurs from mid-October to early
November, and is an uncommonly beautiful sight with the multitude
of large trees and shrubs. From late November through late
December the spawning chum salmon can be seen in our meandering
creek. From mid-October, the “Garden” is transformed with
our various lighting displays - Halloween, and of course, the grand
daddy of them all is our Christmas Lighting Celebration. There is
a lot of “Merry” in our Christmas.
Reservations:
It is helpful to make reservations for large groups. This insures
the presence of ample staff to better serve your needs along with
the necessary space and time to enhance each person's visit.
Admission Charge: $1.00/person. Children under 12 are admitted
free.
Coffee, tea and hot chocolate are available at a nominal fee.
What to Wear:
We encourage visitors to dress for the elements, particularly in
casual clothing and comfortable walking shoes. It may be deemed
appropriate to bring along an umbrella and/or boots. Brinnon
receives an annual rainfall of approximately 55 inches every year,
which is about the same as the Seattle/ Tacoma areas.
How Much Walking:
There are many pathways throughout this 7-acre site. Most are
covered with a combination of sand and gravel, and a few are
grass-covered. The gently sloping terrain is not totally suited to
wheelchairs. Benches are placed throughout the garden. A leisurely
stroll takes approximately one to two hours over one-half
mile of pathways.
