What West Coast Green is to the world of green building, the NW Flower and Garden Show is to the world of horticulture. For many years now, it has been one of the best shows in the US, if not the world. And this year may be the last (founder's fatigue, I hear). Hopefully, someone will buy out the production rights and continue the tradition. But like many people, I am going this year in part to make sure I don't miss my last chance.
Sadly, Anne Lovejoy is not on the agenda; but Dan Hinkley and Melinda Myers are. And I'm sure some of the other speakers will be great discoveries, if not old favorites. Whatever the speakers cover, the display gardens will speak volumes about the possibilities for shaping the outdoor spaces that nourish us. Wonder if the Rain Hogs that caused such a buzz at West Coast Green will be on offer? In drizzly Seattle they'd be very practical.
