It's coming up roses at the W.W. Seymour Botanical Conservatory in Tacoma. Meander along the pathways of the historic glass conservatory with its twinkling central glass dome made up of three thousand panes of glass, allowing gleaming sunshine to beam down on thousands of colorful blooms and plants.

Color blooms at the Lakewold Gardens. Imagine meandering on the majestic, intensely colorful lawns of a historic Georgian landmark mansion that's surrounded by 30 towering Japanese maples, rare and native plants, and a stunning sanctuary - all bursting with a symphony of natural colors. You won't want to miss the stunning beauty of this natural attraction.
