Garden Coach on Northwest Flower and Garden Show

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

For the past several years I have participated with the Northwest Flower and Garden Show as a volunteer, an attendee, and as an award-winning show garden designer. This year I’m looking forward to attending the show and volunteering once again.

The construction of the show begins at the Seattle Convention Center on Saturday, February 16th. By mid-day Tuesday, February 19th the show gardens will be completed and the judges will assess the results. On the evening of February 19th, the show floors open for the annual Arboretum Foundation fundraising gala event. This is a wonderful way to see the show gardens up close — with a glass of wine and fabulous catered meal in hand. Plus, it’s less crowded, fancier, and a great way to raise money for the Seattle Arboretum foundation. Yes, I’ll be there!

Bright and early on Wednesday the 20th I’ll be on the show floor “hosting” the WSNLA show garden for a few hours. Because I am a member of WSNLA, this is a garden that I try to help with each year.

Anyone who loves gardening or just loves looking at magnificent gardens will benefit from this show. Buy tickets early to save on entry costs.

And, if you’d like to learn more about the show, visit the show Flora blog where I’ve contributed some posts and have been interviewed by their regular writer for some of her other forthcoming articles.
