My wife and I visited the gardens on a quiet Sunday morning shortly after their 9 am opening time…read more The staff working here are wonderful, friendly, and helpful. My wife bought a yearly membership on her previous visit, but this was my first time here. There are lots of paths through the forest with enough signs to avoid getting lost. My wife wanted to see more signs about specific plants, but otherwise I have no complaints. I particularly enjoyed the formal gardens beyond the woods and the smell of the boxwoods. I also liked the variety of ferns in the Renaissance Garden area toward the main road. We spent about 90 minutes this visit, which seemed about right. We will return several more times to see the changes with the seasons.

What a beautiful botanical garden! If you like flowers, rare and exotic plants, and a bit of…read morehistory of the area, this is your place. Upon checking into the Kingston area for places to visit, this one popped up in my search, another hidden secret, none of my Washington native coworkers seemed to know. Well, being the plant nerd I am, it was quickly placed first on my list of adventures in the Kingston area. Beautiful entrance, not easily seen if you're flying by. Lots of hidden treasures throughout, plants and additional ornaments ( like the old dump truck or piano) some of the gardens, especially around the old homestead are well developed, but there are quite a few newer additions and more being developed. Staff was very helpful and knowledgeable, Norma Jean was great! Not only with the history and plants of the gardens, but other places to check out in the area as well. The Port Gamble S' Klallam tribe purchases the gardens in 2012 and with the assistance of one of the originators, Dan Hinkley, it has been restored, rejuvenated, and additional gardens are growing. It's worth multiple visits during the year as the many rare plants go through blooming seasons and the colors of new growth and flowers change. They also cultivate a nursery of quite a few of the rare and unusual plants, definitely there will be some purchasing in future visits. This garden is easily walkable and not large, well worth the ten dollar ticket. Enjoyable for anyone who loves nature and being outdoors. It alone was worth the ferry ride over to Kingston. Enjoying the beautiful weather and flowers. Happy Yelping!

I found Jones Tree Farm when I was living over on the Kitsap side, and my husband and I went there…read moreevery year wandered around with our dog until we found the tree that was singing to us. Not pushy, lots of variety, reasonable prices. Fast forward a few years and over to the Seattle side. I'm a board member for a charitable organization, and every year we hold a largish holiday event for people with disabilities. Two bands, pirates, snacks, Santa Claus, the whole nine, even two trees. Last year I figured out that the people who donate the trees are the very same people whose tree farm we used to go to! They donate every year and even deliver the trees to a location convenient to us! Wonderful people!

I googled bamboo and found out there's more to know about bamboo than I imagined. Once we figured…read moreout a general direction to go, we contacted all of the local bambo outfits including one in Portland. After gathering way too much info and comparing, we called Cascade Gardens. George Gearhart was easy to talk to, answered a miriad of questions, then gave us a great deal on two 15 gallon Fargesia Robustas that were already 10-12' tall. There may be bigger outfits in the area but no one knew as much or had as beautiful bamboo specimins as George at Cascade. As the real estate broker, SeattleViewHomes.com I collect A+ vendors, subcontractors, tradesmen and techs. George is the latest top of the list of vendor I will refer my clients to.

George even suggested methods which didn't involve Cascade Gardens' services until later in the process, which was refreshing...I was getting good advice instead of just marketing. Thanks George! I will absolutely use Cascade Gardens and recommend them to anyone looking to remove their bamboo!

Not overbearing and looking for a commission. Just genuine people providing genuine help. And it really shines! Second, I challenge anyone to say they CAN'T find something here. If you know what you need, then the staff is readily available to help you to find it and get you in the right direction. If they don't have it, they will STILL point you in the right direction.

Super friendly and engaging customer support. The folks at work here really do seem to care. Another thing I love are the random cool things that you can purchase, like gift cards, and various trinkets. That they have those things has helped me grab some last-minute birthday and other holiday items for friends when I would have completely forgotten the special day. It is a nice neighborhood hardware store that serves its basic purpose and much more.
