Every February at the Seattle Conventions Center, you can find magnificent garden displays to remind yourself that Spring is coming and to ignite inspiration for your own gardening projects.
The Northwest Flower and Garden Festival is going on from February 14-18, 2024. I had the chance to preview some of the garden displays — the gallery below is a glimpse at some of the exhibits.
Of course, in addition to the wonderful displays which far exceed anything I plan to do with my own yard, you’ll also find a weekend full of lectures where you can learn an abundant variety of gardening skills as well as a full hall of vendors.
This year’s festival, as usual, has some astounding displays. There wasn’t an “extra” theme this year as there was in 2019 when I went to the festival to see the “Fleurs Coutures” exhibit (though I did spy one floral dress outside of the festival proper).
My favorite was The Secret Garden — a veritable fairyland full of little fairy doors and waterfalls, all housed in a giant stump. Perfect for those of us who love hobbit-y places.
