Bloedel Reserve was voted Best Tourist Attraction on Bainbridge Island in a Reader’s Poll by the Bainbridge Island Review newspaper!

Our gala Garden Party on Thursday, August 5 was a great success.  Many thanks to our generous sponsors, partners and volunteers who helped make it a wonderful event. We are grateful to them and the many members of the community who attended. Their support is making possible the restoration and preservation of The Reserve’s award-winning gardens. The names and links to our event sponsors and the more than two dozen restaurants, bakeries, caterers, wineries and breweries that partnered with us can be found on this website under Resources/Friends/Garden Party Partners.
