Nestled in Bellevue's heart, in Wilburton Hill Park, is this botanical treasure. The garden is really several gardens in one. The Yao Japanese Garden is a marvel of simplicity. The Alpine Garden features high-altitude plant life, and the Waterwise Garden is a more practical affair, offering numerous tips and suggestions to the amateur gardener. The gift shop sells books on plants, garden-related gifts, and tools to help you succeed in your own gardening endeavors.
