## Visit Bloedel Reserve

Activities

#### Immerse yourself in the gardens, marshes and pools of this award-winning nature reserve, just minutes from the main Bainbridge Island ferry terminal.

Be immersed in nature during a visit to Bloedel Reserve on Bainbridge Island, taking a ferry from downtown Seattle. Prentice and Virginia Bloedel put their passions into this natural world, which today includes a Japanese guest house and garden, moss garden, reflection pool, bird marsh, trestle bridge, and native forests and meadows.

One of the hallmarks of the reserve is its dedication to environmental stewardship. The Bloedels had a mission to work within the rugged Northwest terrain and transform it into curated gardens and structural features harmonious with the island landscape. Look for evidence of the sustainable projects and programs organized by the staff to most responsibly use the reserve’s natural resources.

Start at the Buxton Bird Marsh & Meadow, covered with wildflowers and colorful blossoms from planted bulbs each spring. Walk along the boardwalk and marked trails, watching for birds, aquatic plants and the marsh’s animal life.

Move on to the renowned Moss Garden, a feature rarely seen in American public gardens. *National Geographic* has recognized the garden for its peacefulness and Zen quality as an excellent spot to relieve stress.

Adjacent to the Moss Garden, find the popular Reflection Pool. The famous landscape architect Thomas Church designed the 200-foot-long (60-meter) rectangular pool, which is lined by brilliant green grassy lawns. Just across the road, visit the Japanese Garden to see the Japanese Guest House and the peaceful Sand and Stone Garden. Covering a former swimming pool, this gravel space is raked with interesting designs.

Travel by ferry from Seattle to the Winslow ferry terminal in 35 minutes then drive north about 7 miles (11 kilometers) to Bloedel Reserve. Free parking is available. The island bus service, BI Ride, stops at the reserve’s front gate.

The reserve is open Tuesday to Sunday and closed Mondays and some holidays. Note that a visit to the reserve is almost exclusively an outdoor experience and the reserve is open rain or shine. There is an entrance fee, with discounted prices for seniors, students and children.
