| A skybridge over Pike Street links the north and south halls of the convention center where the event was held. This sunlit area housed garden "rooms." |

| I could definitely take a nap in this outdoor room. |

| The natural shape of this branch was enhanced by carving. Amazing! |
 |
| Tiny goldfish added a surprise element to this bonsai garden. The exhibit was named "Taoist Myth: The Isles of the Blest" |
 |
| Fairies among the flowers! |
 |
| This bench would look perfect under a Douglas fir tree in my backyard. |
 |
| This tableau made me want to dig in and start planting. I'm ready for spring! |

I like the 'dragon branch', Sandra. He could peep over my garden wall :) :) Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMaking me miss my sun porch and gardens from our last house.
ReplyDeleteRestlessjo: I should have taken a close-up photo of the dragon. The carving was amazing! So much to see at this festival.
ReplyDeleteJackie: The garden festival made me determined to do a better job in our garden this spring. I'm inspired!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful. I would love to walk around this. Very nice.
ReplyDeletecsuhpat1: I had a great time and came away with lots of ideas for springtime plantings. It's hard to wait until the weather is warm enough to sow seeds.
ReplyDeleteI am also waiting for warm enough weather to plant annuals. My across-the-street neighbor made me a wonderful cedar planter box for my front yard. I am eager to fill it with a multitude of geraniums!
ReplyDeleteAs always, your photos gladden my heart. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing these amazing venues for flowers and plants. You have so many lovely places to visit, not to mention hiking trails!
ReplyDeleteYou bring these amazing displays to life with your camera's eye. Brava!
ReplyDeleteColleen: I'm looking forward to seeing your planter full of geraniums. It won't be long! Thank you for visiting my blog and leaving a comment.
ReplyDeleteLaurel-Rain: I'm so lucky to have so many interesting and beautiful places nearby, plus an active senior center to take care of transportation. Glad you enjoyed the photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you for visiting my blog today.
Judy: Thanks for the lovely comment! I'm glad you enjoyed today's pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a perfect festival for me to visit. 'dragon branch' is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteKlara: The "dragon branch" was such a surprise! I saw so many clever and original ideas at the garden show. It's different every year.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour! I would enjoy wandering around there.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love the outdoor napping area, especially. We got crazy last weekend and planted our seeds in the ground. And last night it froze.
ReplyDeleteHurry, spring.
Deb: I've had the urge to start planting, too, but have managed to resist. The rule around here is to wait until after Mother's Day to plant annuals.
ReplyDeleteBetty-NZ: Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed the photos.
