Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens

Sweet little garden. My daughter and I visited to read our books today because it’s so calm and so so beautiful!

Gorgeous spot in the heart of north Everett! It's tucked away and feels private, such a cool hidden gem. Great for photos, too!

Evergreen Arboretum & Gardens We were doing a 3 day stay over in Everette, Washington, to see a concert down in Seattle. We were going to spend the days exploring Seattle, but it was a traffic zoo, because of the summer tourist season, so we decided to explore Everette instead the other days. One of the places we drove to was this. Parking was easy and close to the entrance, admission was free and close by and the gardens were beautifully sculpted with summer flowers in bloom for several hundred feet, then, there was a sculpture garden, a Japanese maple garden, a gazebo and some other small trails up to a golf course. On the way back to the car, we sat by a fountain on a little hill and relaxed. The place wasn’t real large, but that was what made it nice for a little get away. Donations were possible. I pulled some photos off the net of how the place looked to us, because I forgot to take our camera.

Visited this place several times. It is a nice garden that is completely free to visit, quiet and peaceful. It's nice for a walk and also to paint. For winter and early spring  they put up handmade ornaments and decorations. It's small, but located near a body of water. So after visiting the botanical garden you can enjoy the view of water with a never ending horizon.

Just a fabulous little place for a walk! So many cool plants and even with construction going on right next door its surprisingly quiet and peaceful you could wonder around for a while just looking at Japanese maples (I counted 12 by the way) let alone all the other cool trees and plants. Plus there's sculptures all the way around it, I'm not much for modern art myself, but they were still really interesting to look at. Plus you can become a member for pretty cheap, and they have member exclusive events, but if you just wanna hang around for free they have events for everyone, or you can just walk the trails. We went on a today (Monday) and there were like 6 other people there until the class got out and then there were some more people but most of them just left, so very peaceful. Marvelous little place.

Was here early Nov, still plenty to see. Easy walk around the garden

I was surprised to find a bigger selection of plants and trees than I was expecting, the size of the park on Google maps is not very big. It's maintained nicely and was perfect for a Sunday morning walk. It was pretty quiet except for birds and the intermittent noise from hitting golf balls, it's next to a golf course.

We went on Christmas Eve, just after sun down. There was plenty of parking and it was not busy. This is perfect for a vist when you don't want to be overwhelmed with cost (it was free), or people, only a few families, but more were coming as we were leaving. It's a smaller place, you can see everything in about 30 minutes. Simple but pretty lights all over. They have a sheet you can take to find all the Gnomes my five year old loved it. Nothing for sale, nothing to buy, just a nice walk with the family enjoying the lights.
