Display Gardens
The Show Gardens are the heart and soul of all world-class garden shows, and the Northwest Flower & Garden Show will present a magical flower-filled fantasy display at our 2012 show. The show theme is A Floral Symphony. Our 25 show gardens will be themed after different types of music and the sounds of nature. Many of the display gardens will incorporate live music into their design bringing glorious atmosphere to all those who attend.

Over 120 World Class Seminars
Whether you're new to gardening or a seasoned veteran, get practical ideas and advanced techniques. Topics include sustainability, small space gardening and urban farming. Plus valuable tips for edibles, ornamentals, landscape planning and more.

The PlayGarden
