One of my clients is checking out the Home Show for what's after Stainless Steel Appliances and Granite Counters.  I didn't realize it was also a garden show.

Hi ARDELL, it's actually a separate show at the Washingtion State Convention Center downtown, and I think it's the 4th largest in the world!  If you have time this week, it's a fun place to see some really extravgant gardens, cool plants and other "stuff" for the garden.  The best time I have found to go is Friday evening, that's when I am going....  I'm planning on writing a post about it for RCG this evening after I "find" more of my photos from last year....

Deborah, I think I would stay there for HOURS, it looks so peaceful and beautiful...and I'm sure come away with some wonderful ideas.

Haha! Hi Carole! Deborah, I just came from Carole's post on New York and here she is visiting Seattle - the other side of the continent - we travel so fast here on the 'AR transit'!! I've come from NY to Seattle in seconds - what fun!!

Awesome post Deb! 

Hi Carole,  I have stayed for hours before!  Although now I am usually there for less than 4 because I know how to "work" the show the best way for me. 

Hi Deborah,  visiting at the speed of light!  :  )  It is amazing, I often "see" the same people on comments I am making just after them on posts, I get a laugh over it too!

Whoo Hoo...Firiday's coming up!

Deborah - thanks for posting.  I didn't know about this until now and this is just what I need!

Hi Melissa, it is a wonderful experience....a breath of Spring!  Although the past few days have been so beautiful with the sunshine and the nearly balmy weather!  I hope you can make it, if you garden or have been wanting to, this is a great event to help get you primed for Spring.

Deborah, I love stuff like this. Having lived in Olympia during my senior year in high school, I know how beautiful it is and greeeeeen. Beautiful!

Debra - Thank you for sharing.  I can't wait foe spring, working in my garden is what relaxes me after a long day.  I also get pleasure watching each plant pop out of the ground, and what can I say about the colors.

Hi Teri, it is really an amazing show!  I have learned so much from attending...and seeing the incredible display gardens is a wonderful treat!

Hi Jennifer,  I took today off (needed a mental health day so much!) the first one in a couple of months and while I did not actually work in my yard/garden I did enjoy watching the birds (I feed many kinds) and hearing them today and thinking about working in my garden!

Deborah...You have such wonderful weather for flowers.  It is a gardner's delight up there.

Cheers,

Kathleen

Hi Kathleen,  we are lucky to have mild weather to grow a wide range of plants, only we can't grow citrus!
