Tis' the Season of Memories

Mr Scarecrow
A chilly December evening with friends and  Jesse Tam, soaking in the radiant lights. Our childhood memories are filled with laughter, smiles, tears or broken hearts. Tears do not always represent sadness. They may mean emotions of joy, surprise from our families, friends, pets or even strangers.

Families gather to pose for photos and make this a traditional event to start the holiday season. Children wander along the decorated paths with small carriage lanterns or flashlights to help them follow the paths though the Botanical Garden.  The garden transforms during the month of December into a Festival of Lights for the community to enjoy.

The displays are all created with volunteers from the community and donations. This magical display is located in Bellevue and opens from Thanksgiving until the beginning of January. It's truly a place for families and friends to stroll through the garden. Enjoy and end the evening with a delicious cup of hot chocolate and cookies. Traditions and memories are important parts of our lives and childhood.


 
Sunflowers and Garden

Each of the displays are handcrafted by volunteers who work year round on this project.  The lights are donated to make the display into each piece of the garden.  Imagine the strings of lights required to make one flower or display.

 Memories are precious and priceless, they do not need to be expensive to make us smile  
We Make our own Memories! 
Tis' the Season of Memories..memories of childhood.  
Making a trip to the Pacific Northwest or Greater Seattle, this is on the bucket list.
