Spring Open Garden Dates
Sunday, April 28, and Mother's Day Weekend, May 11 and 12, we will be "open" from 10 to 4 (later on Mother's Day weekend as needed).
Bob will be there to answer questions and to help you find the perfect rhody for your garden. You will be welcome to walk through the woodland garden at your own pace.
Chimacum Woods will be selling plants May 2 - 4 at the American Rhododendron Society Annual Convention at the Four Points by Sheraton Bellingham Hotel & Conference Center, Bellingham, WA. Bob will be one of the speakers at the Satuday night banquet. His program is titled "The Siren Song of Species Rhododendrons."
On May 4 and 5 we will bring rhodies to the Heronswood Plant sale from 10 to 2. For more information, info@heronswoodgarden.org. (Yes, we have figured out how to be at two places at the same time).
We will be announcing more Open Garden dates once we get through the frenzy of our double header.
What a crazy spring. We have lots of plants in bloom right now. Some of them are late and should have bloomed before now. Others are a month or two ahead of themselves! We would love to have you visit and see for yourselves. We are happy to sell to the public and offer a wider selection of special rhodies not always available elsewhere.
As always, you are welcome to come to the nursery to have the best choice. Although we can't keep 9 - 5 hours seven days a week, we are usually here and glad if you phone us (206-383-2713) to let us know you want to visit and/or pick out a plant or two.
Chimacum Woods is a rhododendron garden and nursery located on eighteen acres of Washington state's Olympic Peninsula.
Founded and managed by Robert Zimmermann and Beth Orling, we offer a large variety of species rhododendrons for sale—including many rare and unusual types—all grown from seed as much as possible for the sake of biodiversity. We augment this selection with a variety of cutting-grown plants taken from recognized superior forms of selected species.
Most of all, we are passionate about sharing, educating, enjoying, and preserving endangered species rhododendrons for future generations.
We welcome the public to make appointments to walk in our quiet woodland garden. Whether alone or in small family groups, our peaceful setting and fresh air will foster health in mind, body, and spirit.
Choose a plant from our nursery, or purchase from one of our nursery partners.
We’re open for quiet walks by appointment only between 10:00 am and 5:00 pm most days.
We are passionate about educating people in the importance of preserving endangered rhododendron species for future generations.
