Garden d'Lights


"Garden d’Lights features over ½ million lights which transform the Bellevue Botanical Garden into a blossoming winter wonderland. ...hundreds of volunteers have been busy making creations. ... Thousands of volunteer hours have gone into another fantastic light show." 

This is the 20th year for this wonderful event. Over 100,000 people come to enjoy the display. 

To make the light display, volunteers "fashion 3D representations of botanically correct plants and flowers." The pictures below give you an idea how lights are bundled and then put together to create objects like the parrot in the tree. gardendlights.org

All sorts of creatures were scattered throughout the garden
