Ohme Gardens

This enchanting jaunt through the woods on the hillside of the Wenatchee Valley is to transport yourself to a far away magical land. Cool green pools, lush lawns, stone pathways and towering evergreens are an amazing setting for everyone! Not an adventure to miss.

Amazing story to this place, a couple built it over several decades, largely by hand. Great views of the area and lovely plantings.

This was an incredible place to visit while in Wenatchee! Gina in the gift shop gave us some great advice about the best views and sent us on our way. My fiancé and I were impressed with the beautiful surroundings, the amazing pathways, and the secluded hide aways!

Absolute Serenity! I wish I lived here (and admission was free) just so I could visit at will. The grounds are gorgeous & you cannot help but feel a sense of tranquility walking around. AND the lady at the admission desk is sweet as can be. The price is a little steep, but doesn’t take away from my rating.

Ohme Gardens is literally an oasis in the dry hillside setting of north Wenatchee.
The hillside paths can be challenging but the views are amazing.
It is like meditation walking the paths surrounded by greenery and ponds.
I recommend checking this place out for traveler’s and locals.

I’ve often found myself describing Ohme Gardens as being «a miniature golf course without any miniature golf,» due to the eccentricity of its layouts and the «point-​to-​point» orientation of its hiking paths. That’s not a knock on the attraction, but rather a loving appraisal of its slightly goofy charm, particularly when it comes to the variable nature of a visitor’s experience (Depending mostly on their age).
For grown-​ups, the place offers a charming respite from the late-​Spring and summertime heat of Wenatchee, as well as an opportunity to enjoy some truly spectacular views of the town; for kids, it’s basically a magical glen filled with rock outcroppings, hiding places, magical reflection pools and tricky little «goat paths» that mom and pop might balk at trying to scale… in as many words, a mildly wild wonderland that’s sure to provide an hour or so of unalloyed distraction. Definitely a must-​go, even if you’re just passing through.

I love Ohme Gardens. There is plenty to see and its a really fun thing to do any time that its open. My boyfriend and I went during the fall, and we used a coupon that gave us one free entry. We had fun exploring. There was a light rain but it just lit up the garden. It was gorgeous and green and the orange flowers were lovely. The ponds were all very gorgeous. The colors were brilliant.
The view is not very pretty, its just a bunch of flat land and ugly buildings and campers and semis, but the garden itself is where the beauty is at.
Definitely worth a visit, but do expect more trees than flowers and watch out for small snakes. I saw one race across a pathway once during my Uncle’s spring wedding.

Really pretty garden! Not a cheap spot to visit, but romantic for couples and fun for young kids as well. Would recommend if you are stuck in Wenatchee– there isn’t much else to do…
Also check out the website for special events like concerts and such.

Love this place, it is absolutely beautiful. Make sure you get a map before you start walking around, otherwise you will miss a lot of hidden gems!

As many others say, do not come expecting spectacular gardens of flowers. But it is a very unique and creative area surrounded by the desert. For $ 7 it’s a nice little trip around a peaceful lush area with some fun paths and sights. This is not for someone who has trouble with steps. It’s worth checking out.

Ohme (Oh-​me) Gardens is a pretty amazing place. Don’t come expecting lush floral displays or cascading waterfalls but do expect a unique landscape of stones, pathways, and fields with sweeping views of the valley below. The gardens reminded me of a labyrinth with pathways leading all over the garden.
I agree that the garden isn’t as breathtaking first off as some other gardens may be but considering the history and the work involved with the vision and creation of the gardens they are truly amazing.
A husband and wife created the garden on their private land decades ago to emulate alpine meadows. They had stones hauled up and performed back breaking labor to make the gardens. Before they came along the hill was just any other dry hill with not much vegetation. Definitely look into the history of the garden as it will enrich your appreciation of your visit.
The gardens are extremely well manicured and peaceful. There is a wishing well and several tranquil pools dotting the gardens. There are several stone benches fashioned into the side of the hill.
Ohme Gardens is an ideal destination for a photographer. There was a wedding ceremony going on when were were there and it looked like a beautiful setting for a wedding. Great photo opportunities, too!
I’d recommend Ohme for sure. The steps are not ideal for little kids who might have a hard time walking on the rocks and also not for older people or anyone who isn’t completely agile.

Important tips:
1. Do not come here expecting an ornate Victorian garden. In fact, the fewer expectations you have — the better.
2. This is not good for those who struggle with steps — there are a lot of them.
3. The story behind it adds a lot
The Ohme gardens were the private garden of a Wenatche resident, way back when. They expanded quite a bit and the gardens provide a solid hour of green hillside, reflecting ponds, and views of the valley.
The price of $ 7 is fair. Any more and you would feel a bit taken. They really don’t have a vision, they just plant and let it grow.
Price:quality — you could argue a ⁴⁄₅
quality — a solid 3

Everyone recommended these gardens so much that we started our wenatchee trip with this. The whole loop is about 1 mile and entry fee is $ 7/​person.
The garden was cute and landscaped well, but strangely, nothing about it made me go «ahh!» The view of the mountains is hampered by the industrial area and the freeways closeby. The ponds are serene and a nice place to read a book, but I really wonder how it is a must see place. Probably it is better in the night, with the lighting and all, I don’t know. I liked the nearby confluence state park a lot better.
I guess it’s one of those touristy things that you have do to prove you really were in Wenatchee.
To be fair, I think the park should be experienced more than seen. There are many serene spots in there that make for good meditation spots. So if you go there, go with time on your hands rather than just a camera.

The Pictures of Ohme Gardens Don’t do it justice, you HAVE TO Visit to Experience the Real Beauty of this Place.
Being Right off the highway, its a Bit confusing to get to… Maybe due to recent Changes (???), Our GPS didn’t know there was divider where we were supposed to Turn…
I’m Glad its just a Few hours Drive from our House.

ohme gardens is such a beautiful park. i can not wait to have my wedding here… it is quiet and very peaceful and exotic. ohme garden’s i chose you.

This place is really different. Like a mountain island of park & paths. When you hear the story of how and when it was constructed it is all the more amazing. It is not typical garden in the sense of having exotic materials, it is the optimum use of location to get an effect. Really was a neat place.

We didn’t have time to go in but this looks like a beautiful place to visit. A true oasis in the dusty, dry desert.
