Lakewold Gardens, Historic garden in Lakewood, United States
The ten-acre garden contains over 900 rhododendron plants, 250 different species, and 30 varieties of Japanese maple trees across multiple themed sections.
Major Everett Griggs acquired the property in 1925, naming it Lakewold to reflect the surrounding wooded lake environment of the Washington state landscape.
The garden incorporates designs by Thomas Church, who started visiting in 1958 to create sections like the Medieval Knot Garden and rose-covered teahouse.
The garden welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Sunday between April and September, and on Fridays and Saturdays during October through March.
The grounds feature several State Champion Trees, including a Metasequoia Dawn Redwood that ranks among Washington's largest specimens.
