History

The process of creating the garden started in 1987 when the co-founders took possession of the property and transformed it over the next two decades. It was sold to a national plant and seed distribution firm in 2000, but was soon neglected for several years after 2006. In 2012 it was purchased once again by the Port Gamble S’Klallam Tribe where it went through a rebirth with an exciting new inventory of plants and a regrown landscape. This original thriving garden is now a beautiful setting for one-of-a-kind events.

Absolutely Beautiful!

Heronswood Gardens was absolutely beautiful for our wedding! This garden is seriously so amazing, such a hidden gem. Shelby is amazing to work with. Everything went perfectly. The venue includes caterer, tables/chairs, linens, hotel block, shuttle service - which made planning our wedding so much easier. Our guests also had a great time. Highly recommend Heronswood Gardens!

Perfect outdoor wedding!

Shelby and her team at the garden really made my wedding exactly how I pictured it! They helped me tour the venue initially and talked through everything I would need to make the day come together. The venue does so much work to make a ceremony and reception easy: they have beautiful chairs and so many spaces to choose from for the ceremony plus a great reception tent, amazing food and the best backgrounds for photography! The food and drink at our reception was excellent! Their chef and catering staff was so thoughtful and helpful. An all around excellent experience!
