The Northwest Flower and Garden Show is in Seattle and I’ll be there tomorrow through Sunday, so I hope you can stop by and say hi! The show is at the Washington State Convention Center on 7th and Pike in Downtown Seattle. Be sure to bring your pocketbook, because there is always a ton of great seed for sale, as well as bareroot berries and shrubs.

Here’s my schedule:

Thursday, February 4th

Where: A Family’s Little Farm in the City Show Garden

When: 4:30 to 6:30 pm

I’ll be hanging out at Tilth’s gold medal award winning garden (!) answering vegetable gardening questions and generally chatting it up. This super cool garden showcases how to live sustainably on a small plot, including how to raise vegetables and chickens!

Friday, February 5th

Where: Seattle Tilth Booth

When: 8:30 to 11:45

Tilth is selling all sorts of great garden gear at the show, including worm bin kits and seed starting supplies. I’ll be on hand to answer any garden questions you may have.

Saturday, February 6th

Where: DIY Stage

What: DIY Seed Starting Station Demonstration

When: 2:15 pm

I’m going to demonstrate how to build a versatile seed starting station out of an IKEA bookcase. This project is quick, easy, and inexpensive to build, plus it can be used to store books—or garden supplies—once the seedlings move outdoors. I’m also going to share a bunch of ideas for using recycled materials for seed starting.

Sunday, February 7th

Where: Hood Room

What: Growing Gourmet Vegetables

When: 1:30 pm

The best reason to grow vegetables is you get to eat the results! This workshop explores the science behind flavor and how gardeners can maximize the taste, nutrition, and quality of their favorite vegetables.
