Garden d’Lights
Bellevue Botanical Garden regrets to announce that Garden d’Lights has been canceled for 2020 to help slow the spread of COVID-19. You can still enjoy the beauty of the lights by watching a short video. Garden d’Lights is the garden’s largest event of the year, and canceling it will have a significant budget impact. Please consider a donation to the Bellevue Botanical Garden Society.
Lights in your own landscape
Lighting and a fireplace make your winter landscape more inviting.
Perhaps you would like more cheer in your own landscape this winter. Landscape lighting highlights trees, shrubs, art or water features, so you can enjoy them more during the long winter nights.
You may be entertaining outside this year. Fireplaces or fire pits make patios warmer and more cheerful.
