In my lectures, I discuss the satisfaction people find when they live a life of layers. The idea is to give yourself as many opportunities in your daily life to experience and to look at what you love.
The Northwest Flower and Garden Show has done just that: it is designed to let us look at what we love.
Visually, you will be astonished by the scale and beauty of the 19 large display gardens. Flowering trees, giant boulders, live moss and spring bulbs are woven together to create themed vignettes honoring the Centennial Anniversary of National Parks Service. This portion of the garden show is all for show. Stand and soak it in. Take pictures and imagine incorporating some of the scale-able elements into your own backyard.
The selection of garden and flower related products to shop for in the 350-vendor Marketplace is second to none. Need flower arranging tools, garden baskets, bonsai scissors or oilcloth aprons? They've got you covered. In my opinion, access to the Marketplace alone is worth the price of admission.
Looking for a concrete ideas and a chance to mull over what you've seen so far? Look at the schedule and take a seat in one of the 100 free how-to presentations.
Ready for lunch? There are great choices this year from salads and pasta, to soups, burgers and cheese platters, in addition to craft beer and regional wine.
