Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens

Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens (53 acres) are nonprofit gardens located at 3531 Meerkerk Lane, Greenbank, Washington. They are open daily. Admission is $10 for adults. Kids under 13 are free. Dogs on leash are always welcome!

The gardens were founded by Ann and Max Meerkerk in the early 1960s on 13 acre, and served as a site where they collected and hybridized rhododendrons. They gradually expanded the garden to 10 acre of rhododendrons surrounded by an additional 43 acre of woodlands. Ann Meerkerk left the gardens to the Seattle Rhododendron Society in 1979.

Today the garden features more than 1,500 varieties of rhododendron species and hybrids.
