Guided tours of the Rhododendron Garden during the Point Defiance Flower & Garden Festival will highlight the garden's unique features, plants and history. Get inspiration for your own garden, learn planting techniques and get plant-care tips. Tours will be led by one of Metro Parks' horticultural experts. This ticket includes a festival pass to access all the event's exclusive lectures, demonstrations and activities.

Designed as a natural display of rhododendrons in the wild, this garden is nestled in a stand of old growth forest. Trails wind through the forest and intersect the garden. The nearly five-acre site was established in 1968 in cooperation with the Tacoma Chapter of the American Rhododendron Society, which continues to provide support. The garden contains more than 500 plants, including 198 cultivated varieties and 75 species of rhododendrons.
