Head to Seattle's famed Northwest Flower and Garden Show in the comfort of a luxury motor coach.  Leave the hassle of driving over Snoqualmie Pass, Seattle's traffic and parking to your professional driver.  Plus, you get dropped off right at the Convention Center's front door, leaving you more time to visit all the displays! WOOOT!!   NWFGS Exhibit

The theme for the 2014 show is “Art in Bloom."  You will find the region’s top garden designers and landscape firms embracing a festive tribute to art in over 20 colorful and dramatic display gardens. It’s a rich palette of color and light, with thousands of blooming flowers and exotic plants giving showgoers a sneak preview of spring.

Complementing the eye-popping display gardens, find the “Small Space Showcase” presenting innovative, idea-generating small space and container gardens for those seeking inspiration for gardens on their deck, patio and terrace. The artistry of the area’s top floral designers is spotlighted in the “Floral Competition,” with lavish displays of artfully arranged blooms.

The Northwest Flower & Garden show is the largest event of its kind west of the Mississippi--and the second largest garden show in the United States, and it is only 2.5 hours from Yakima.  Plus, as an added benefit, a number of Yakima Area Arboretum staff members, and/or knowledgeable Master Gardeners, will be on board the coach to answer your gardening questions.

Show Highlights:

  • Six acres of display gardens.
  • 110 gardening seminars.
  • 300 vendors
  • The hottest new garden products.
  • Inspirations for small garden spaces and so much more! 

You will have three pickup locations to choose from upon registering, including the Flying J Truck Stop in Ellensburg.
