Nestled in the heart of Bremerton, Vista Gardens is a 4.25-acre botanical sanctuary dedicated to education, sustainability, and community enrichment. Designed as a living demonstration of climate-adaptive gardening, the garden showcases resilient landscapes, pollinator habitats, and regenerative planting techniques that thrive in the Pacific Northwest.

As a nonprofit organization, Vista Gardens offers guided tours, hands-on workshops, and community events that inspire visitors to engage with nature and cultivate sustainable green spaces of their own. Whether strolling through our 15 distinct garden areas, learning from expert horticulturists, or simply finding a moment of peace among the blooms, every visit to Vista Gardens is an opportunity to connect, discover, and grow.

Your support through the Kitsap Great Give allows us to expand our educational programs, maintain this beautiful space, and continue inspiring a love for nature and sustainable gardening. Thank you for being part of this growing community!
