NW Flower and Garden Show 2017

Vintage glass garden art

The Garden Show is one of my favourite events. I looked up in my diary and this is my 7th time attending the Garden show! Wow! The night before I had trouble sleeping because I was so excited.

The theme this year was A Taste of Spring. As you enter the show there is a floral arranging competition. This one was my favourite:

There were twenty one display gardens. I love whimsy like this croquet game using tea cups.

This wall/hedge made of succulents was amazing. 

Wooden spoons were used as plant markers here:

Lots of fun garden art in this display garden which was titled "Bugs Abode."

Old springs are mixed in within the plants.

Trumpet plant? I'm not sure what is called but I like it.

This display garden was fun. Its title is "Be Prepared to Camp" - Old Scouts Don't Stop, they Glamp.

Check out these old crock pots used to grow herbs.

I love clever plant containers. Here baby/toddler shoes are used:

Egg shells with succulents:

There was a cake display as well. This one was truly amazing since everything is edible.

There are so many things to look at and maybe buy. :) I took this photo for my friends Mary and Elizabeth who like mushrooms.

Here is what I brought home with me:

- Limelight Sedum
- a pruner designed for women
- "Dig It" tool that Cisco recommends
- an old muffin tin that I will put succulents into
- sweet pea seeds
- a dahlia tuber.

I also found a vintage Boy Scout plaque that I plan to put in my son's room.
