Spring gardens shows!

Save the date for the 2011 Yard, Garden & Patio Show presented by Dennis’ 7 Dees: February 18-20 at the Oregon Convention Center. It’s the first garden show of the year in the Northwest and you’ll find bigger display gardens, seminars galore, garden art, garden designers and contractors, relaxing beverage gardens, cool plant displays and so much more. Visit http://www.ygpshow.com/ for details.



The following week, is Seattle’s Northwest Flower and Garden Show, February 23-27. If you don’t want to drive, think about joining other gardeners on a bus coordinated by the Multnomah County Master Gardeners up to the show. Here are details:

Don't sweat the drive when you can ride with fellow Portland area gardeners on a comfortable restroom-equipped bus. For $65 you get roundtrip transportation and a ticket to the show. You will have close to eight hours to see the gardens, stroll the vendors market and take in a seminar or two. Purchases can be stored on the bus for the trip home.
