Description

Lakewold Gardens is likely one of the great gardens of the Northwest, marrying classical European garden design with modernist scale and viewpoint, and a distinctly Northwest appreciation of majestic native trees and woodland beauty. Lakewold‘s pleasures are many, from its pronounced seasonality to its harmony of formal and informal gardens to its astounding number of rare plants. This is a gardener’s garden, with lessons and surprises for new and experienced gardeners alike.

Lakewold was once the private garden of Eulalie Wagner. She started developing the 10-acre garden in 1938. Wagner was once very much an in-the-dirt gardener and her vision and hard work touches each and every grass, plant, tree, and lichen. Along the way, she received invaluable guidance from famed landscape architect and lifelong friend Thomas Church, whose influence will also be seen all over the garden. The beautiful and creative designs that they formed remain intact and well maintained today, as do many original plantings and collections.

Lakewold was once opened to the public in 1989. Its mission is to conserve the gardens for the future at the same time as educating the public. This tribute to the garden and its creators is richly illustrated with beautiful garden pictures from every season, and from before Eulalie Wagner, through the decades of her tenure, and up to the present.
