At Lakewold Gardens, our dedicated Docents lead tours on the beautiful grounds of Lakewold while revisiting its rich history with visitors from around the world. You will learn how to conduct a tour and develop your own presentation style. Tours primarily occur during the months of April-September and last approximately 2 hours.
Located in Lakewood, Washington, Lakewold offers landscape architecture by Thomas Church surrounded by rare and native plants, State Champion trees, over 900 rhododendrons, 30 Japanese maples and stunning statuary. A Washington State historic landmark, Lakewold's Georgian-style mansion and historic architecture complete the 10 acres where visitors can step back in time to an elegant past or enjoy a relaxing moment to contemplate the future.
