Even though there are sub freezing temperatures in the forecast, fear not steadfast gardeners! Spring will return! And when you see the first robin, when you catch the waft of Sarcococca and when you spy the demure blossoms of Galanthus; you can set your watches to the fact that, besides Spring, 2 big ‘events’ are on the horizon.
‘Event #1’… for those of you that are hankering for a flower or two, NOW is your chance to order your spring blooming bulbs from Brent & Becky’s AND save 10% if ordered by March 1st. Lilies – Dahlias – Allium – Eucomis – Calla Lily . . . have fun shopping! Brent & Becky’s Bulbs
And the event we’ve all been waiting for . . . the NW Flower and Garden Festival returns to the Seattle Convention Center February 19-23. Grab your comfy walking shoes, a water bottle and make a day – or days – of it. Wander through the display gardens. Take in some seminars. Shop the marketplace. There is even a special event this year called the Botanical Bash for those that want a night at the show with music and libations. MOST of all, get inspired to make your garden an oasis away from it all this year! (and if you need help with making in an oasis – contact me!)
