“America the Beautiful” is the theme for the 2016 Northwest Flower and Garden Show as the 28th annual event celebrates the National Parks Service Centennial and famous American landmarks. Set for February 17-21 at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, the show spotlights the theme in spectacular display gardens and a big line-up of feature attractions.
After months of preparation, over 20 Garden Creators will unveil the show’s amazing collection of display gardens. With the scent of flowers in the air, each creation is a blooming showcase of creativity and ingenuity offering take-away ideas for “at-home” gardening.

The show offers multiple opportunities to jump-start gardening experiences and learn about trends that not only beautify but are practical, too. The “Marketplace” is colorful shopping destination with over 350 high-quality exhibitors, including nearly 100 new vendors at this year’s show.”
A big line-up of great speakers comes to the show to share their knowledge and “how-to” information in 100 hours of presentations. The 2016 show has attracted more than two dozen new speakers from throughout the U.S., Canada and the U.K.; for topics geared for both beginners and veteran gardeners, visit the Seminars page.
Returning for its second year, the crowd-pleasing “Garden Wars” charity event will have showgoers cheering on their favorite news anchors and media personalities as they scramble to create gardens “on-the-clock.” They’ll be vying for a total of $7,500 in prize money -- with all proceeds benefitting local charities. All the fun takes place daily from 1pm to 3pm in the North Hall.
And an added attraction: enjoy a glass of regional wines or craft beers as you stroll the aisles and savor an expanded menu of tasty new food offerings available throughout the show.
