Glen Echo Garden
located in Bellingham, Washington 

Glen Echo Garden is a lovely garden with multiple themes that currently spans three acres. It was started in 2006 by landscaper and gardener Dick Bosch, who procurred the property in 1971 but began construction only after retiring from the gardening business. Previously, the site and surrounding property has been owned by the Glen Echo Coal Mine and later functioned as a shingle mill, and then a lumber company.

The garden is a work in progress, but it currently contains over 10,000
bedding plants. Some of the different areas include a Rose Garden, Begonia and Fuchsia Garden, English Garden, Blue Garden and the "Gigantic Stump" Garden. The grounds are also available for weddings and other outdoor social events - please contact them for more information.
