I love the Northwest Flower and Garden show! It is such a feast for the eyes and it smells great, too! Every year there is a theme for the display gardens. This year it was "America the Beautiful." The photo above shows a recreation of the Grand Tetons in Wyoming. The name of the display is "Tiny Tetons." As soon as you enter the show you are bombarded with the sight and smell of spring bulbs.
There is a section with floral arrangement which are always creative and intricate. This one was my favourite.
The designer of this arrangement used magnolia leaves to form the trunk of the "tree."
This display garden had me dreaming of Summer!
Garden art is so fun, like these fish which were a little out of my budget.
I love these flowers made of old glass.
There is a vintage market inside the show. I should have invited my friend Denise who would've loved this section. Next year! The booth that made a garden in a shopping cart won the award for best booth. It is Pine Creek Nursery in Monroe.
I took this photo of succulents for my friend Elizabeth.
The vendors are terrific at this show. Here's what I brought home:
- a large pink pillow for $10. What a deal!
- new gardening gloves
- a new hat crocheted out of cotton that is washable.
- a half apron made of oilcloth. I plan to use this while gardening.
- a pink toolbox that came with primroses.
If you'd like to join me next year, the tickets are $17 in advance. There is a free parcel check which comes in very handy.
