Snowdrops in Dunn Gardens

Snowdrop Stroll at Dunn Gardens 13533 Northshire Road NW, Seattle 98177

Sunday, February 9, 2020, Noon to 4pm

Free to members, Donations from not-yet-members greatly appreciated.

When most of Seattle is enshrouded in 50 shades of gray, Dunn Gardens is surprisingly colorful.

Bundle up and come spend an afternoon enjoying magenta cyclamen, the yellow-gold of mahonia and witch hazel, and of course, the snowdrops. These early bloomers are lovely reminders of the beauty of a winter garden.

Bring your friends and neighbors for a docent-led mini tour, hot tea, light snacks, and a warm fire.

As much as we love dogs, we ask that you please leave your four-legged friends at home.

We look forward to seeing you in The Gardens!

Dinner in the Gardens July 18 at Dunn Gardens

Saturday, June 8, 2019



Imagine a warm July evening, alfresco dining overlooking Puget Sound, a historic garden, good company, and a relaxed dining experience. 

Dunn Gardens can make this vision a reality at their annual signature event, Dinner in the Gardens. 

The evening will begin with a cocktail on Ed’s Lawn to sip as you meander your way to The Great Lawn for appetizers and socializing. A scrumptious 4-course meal crafted by Maverick Catering will then be served at one long, beautifully set table stretching across the lawn.

An abundance of wine on each table will complement this exquisite feast. Food, wine, friends, and a beautiful 7-acre garden – you won’t want to miss this!
