Classes
Learn to make flower lights the Bellevue Botanical Garden way.  Hands-on classes are taught in the Spring and Fall each year.  The classes are low cost or free to members, but what is created stays at the garden to be enjoyed by others.  Impress your friends when visiting the garden by pointing out the flower you made.  Not sure which one it is? That’s okay, just tell them it’s the one they are admiring! 

Garden d'Lights
Each year new areas and new creations are added to this popular event.  All the flowers and critters are made by volunteers in classes and work parties.  Classes are conducted in the spring and fall of each year.  There are work parties when we are not setting the lights up, taking them down or conducting classes.

High-quality mini lights and other supplies are available for sale at classes and work parties so that you can create your own garden at home.  We have 15 colors of regular mini lights available and soon six colors of LED mini lights will also be available.

Most classes will be held in the Garden Office and limited to 12 participants.  Dates marked with an ! will be held in the Visitor Center and may have up to 20 participants.  Children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult. Registration is on a first come first served basis with priority given to Society members through February 15, after which classes will be open to non members.  A $5 nonrefundable registration fee will be charged to Society members.   Non members will be charged $15 per class (refundable with 2- day notice). 

Beginners are welcome at all classes, however, classes marked with an * are the easiest.  Plan 3 hours for the morning and evening classes and four hours for the afternoon classes.
