Chimacum Woods
A Rhododendron Nursery
Upcoming Events
Open Garden dates this fall​
​We are having Open Garden Days on September 27 & 28, from 10am - 5pm each day. This should be a good time to plant as the ground will still be warm and the sun less intense, and you'll enjoyt a better selection of our plants than is available elsewhere. You can stroll the garden if you wish and unfortunately see some of the effects of climate change. We always enjoy your visits.
We are open by appointment at other times and prefer to operate that way so we can give you individual attention. Please text or call 206-383-2713 for a date and time that works for us both.
Educational Events
Whether presented by Bob or other gardening experts, we love sharing our knowledge about species rhododendrons. Interested in having Bob present to your group or special event? Send us an email! View our past events below.
Private Events
Enjoy a family gathering, an afternoon home-school outing, or a quiet picnic in the middle of nature at Chimacum Woods.
We can provide a table or two for picnics — we can even furnish coffee or other beverages if you desire.
