2012 Garden d'Lights

Brought to you by the Bellevue Botanical Garden Society, Garden d’Lights features over a half million lights which transform the Bellevue Botanical Garden into a blossoming winter wonderland.


Inspired by plants found in Northwest gardens, hundreds of volunteers work year round to bundle strings of lights into three dimensional flowers, shrubs, and vines.  In addition to artistic interpretation of plants, the volunteer team has created charming animal characters.  Charlotte the spider remains a favorite and will be back in her web near the Ground Cover Garden. 


The Trillium shop will be open from 5:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Mondays and Thursdays from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. for daylight shoppers and to purchase tickets. The shop is brimming with gift items, holiday ornaments and decor—a spectacular shop to match the spectacular garden setting.
