Northwest Flower & Garden Show: Ask the Designer!

NHS Display Features Containers Designed Exclusively with Plant Material Chosen as Great Plant Picks

February 18-22, 2009, at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle

Each year, the Northwest Flower and Garden Show provides a joyful respite from the dark, dreary days of winter. Beautifully landscaped gardens, incredible educational seminars, lots and lots of retail goodies, and fabulously choice plants for sale enlighten the spirits.

This year, NHS will host a booth in the educational section, booth #2400-2402, close to the Plant Market (yippee!). We will feature container gardens designed exclusively with plant material chosen as Great Plant Picks by the Elisabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden; our booth will be adjacent to Pacific Horticulture magazine, a partnership fostered by Elisabeth Miller (who also started NHS). The photo above highlights three Great Plant Picks: Dryopteris lepidopoda in the center, nestled in amongs Epimedium x rubrum and Brunnera macrophylla 'Jack Frost'.

Additionally, we will offer 20-minute design consultations with well-known garden designers such as writer and speaker Marty Wingate, Wendy Welch GardenDesign, Phil Woods Gardens, and more! Make an appointment, then bring pictures and your questions about a problem section of your garden, and the designers will give you free ideas and advice. We will also feature Ask Ciscoe sessions with our own radio and TV personality, Ciscoe Morris. Times and directions on how to make reservations for design consultations and sessions with Ciscoe will be posted here after January 19, 2009.

As always, we are looking for volunteers to help with our booth set up February 17th, manning the booth during show hours, February 18-22, and tear-down on February 23rd. To volunteer for set-up, email Karin.

Come by the NHS booth February 18-22 at the Washington State Convention Center for a visual treat.
