Description

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.
