Meerkerk Gardens Octoberfest, Fall Conert and Plant Sale October 5 rom 12 pm-4 pm.

Grab your Lederhosen and Dirndls! Octoberfest at Meerkerk Gardens is fast approaching just as the gardens start flashing fabulous fall color. Enjoy the sights, sounds and tastes of Bavaria.

Two local musical groups will perform for your enjoyment:
12:00pm | Nathaniel Talbot Trio American roots music that combines the soulful edge of tradition with the Pacific Northwest’s legacy of freedom and innovation.
2:00pm | Pickled Herring Band will perform all their favorites with accordion player Lori Hansen.

We will have traditional German food from the Chef in the Black Bandana and have beer from Georgetown Brewing in our Beer Garden.

Rhododendrons also will be a big part of this festive event. Check out the nursery! Choose from hundreds of plants on display just in time for the fall planting season.

Meerkerk Gardens, a 53-acre woodland wonder on central Whidbey Island, is open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. every day of the year. Enjoy 2-plus miles of trails, stunning vistas and a renowned collection of rhododendrons, azaleas and specimen trees. Dogs on a leash are welcome. Bring a lawn chair!
