A few months ago Jeff and I joined our local community center. They hosted a nice orientation lunch which included a drawing. I won a free trip of my choice, and decided that the NW Flower and Garden Show would be perfect.
At 8:30 AM our happy little band headed to Seattle. www.gardenshow.com/the-show
This year's theme was Gardens Go Hollywood, and the gardens really captured the spirit!
 |
From sleek and chic,
|
 |
To the rugged outdoors.
|
 |
| From the ridiculous |
 |
to the sublime,
|
there was something for everyone.
One of the display gardens had a little evergreen that has been a "mystery plant" in my garden. Now I know that it's a type of hardy hebe.
The orchid display, though smaller than previous,
was oh so vibrant.

Walking around the show and taking in many of the 300 booths can cause a mighty hunger, so we headed out for lunch and a little walk around downtown Seattle.
After an afternoon of further browsing and a very interesting seminar on Art in the Garden, we headed back to our little van for the ride home.
Fun, easy. I'll definitely do more of these trips!
