I enjoyed seeing the variety and reading about its history from the original owner who started the growth of the tree. This museum is next to the former Weyerhaeuser headquarters which is now vacant. Highly recommend this museum whether you are a bonsai fan or not.

Some of the trees are hundreds of years old, and we learned so much about the art of bonsai while exploring the huge variety of beautiful trees on display. We spent a little over an hour wandering around and honestly could have stayed longer. A stunning, peaceful, must-visit spot for any tree lover!

I didn't have time for the tour, but I appreciated seeing the mansion and getting a glimpse of this city's history. Next time, I'll have to do the tour. Thank you again, Diane, for being so nice and friendly!

I went on my first Pretty Gritty Tour a little while back. There are ghost tours and historical…read moretours for Tacoma and a whole other section for tours in the Tri-Cities in southern Washington. I went on a lantern tour at Fort Steilacoom Park which is located next to Western State Mental Hospital in Lakewood. There is a ton of history in this park and the hospital once owned the land. So there are old barns here and a cemetery of patients that died as well as ruins of other structured here. We went through here around Halloween time so best get reservations in as they fill fast and they don't offer many of them. We went by lantern in the dark to the cemetery and learned about some of the patients that lie resting here and then what went on in the ruins when the hospital had the land. It was definitely creepy and grim but fascinating as you learned a lot of history from the guide. When we went here it was raining a lot and that really added to the creepy vibe which was a nice addition to the experience but glad I had an umbrella with me! Looking forward to doing more of these tours in the future. I really liked this particular tour and would love to do a ghost tour sometime.

Got to do the original tour for my birthday on Saturday. Chris was our guide, which I was super…read morehappy about, cause I have watched SO many of his YouTube videos, and even used it as a source in a paper I wrote. He was just as awesome as on his videos, very funny and genuine. The tour was fantastic, I am absolutely going to do all the other tours now. The story of the reoccurring murder had me hooked. It was super spooky to be guided through Tacoma by lamp light. Our group was fun and I even had other birthday buddies who celebrated with this spooky tour. So don't wait, go book, like right now. It's worth every penny.

They carry an impressive collection of rare and unusual plants, including one of the best selections of Japanese maples I've seen anywhere.

The staff are knowledgeable and clearly care about plants, soil health, and helping people find the right plants for their space. Every visit I discover something new.

It looked more like a work room that was not expecting guests. Dirty couches, with dirty and hairy dog blankets covering them. The worker had to quickly clean off a filthy glass table for us to even sit down. The bar would have been nice to sit at, but it was covered with junk and empty bottles. We should have left right when we entered the door, but that would have been rude. As stated, the wine was not bad. Although, I guess they decided that no label was required on the bottles, just hand written in gold pen? This was not an enjoyable experience. Too bad.
