About meThe Bloedel Reserve Library is housed in the Visitor Center, a French country chateau-style mansion on Bainbridge Island, Washington, near Seattle, that was home to Prentice and Virginia Bloedel. Son of a prominent lumber company family, Prentice Bloedel spent his long retirement years, from 1951 to 1985, developing the spectacular gardens that surround the home. The Bloedel Reserve’s primary mission is to provide a tranquil and refreshing experience of nature. Often honored as one of the most beautiful and inspiring gardens in the world, The Reserve is renowned for its intricate weaving of developed landscapes with natural Pacific Northwest woodlands.

About my libraryThe Bloedel Reserve Library is non-circulating.

The Library is an outstanding community resource, containing more than 1,400 books on gardening, horticulture, plant exploration, birding, flower arranging, ecology, preservation, nature photography, forestry, and Northwest history. It is open to our members and their guests for quiet reading and research on Mondays and Tuesdays, 1:00-4:00pm, year-round.

Annual membership of $55 covers unlimited visits for up to 4 persons, invitations to special events like author readings, lectures and book-signings, and use of the Library. Visit our website for information on membership.

The Bloedel Reserve gardens are closed on Monday and Tuesdays. Garden open hours are: Winter (September-May): Wednesday through Sunday, 10:00am to 4:00pm.
