The Northwest Flower & Garden Show serves the Western Region of North America from Alaska and Vancouver, BC to San Francisco, California, with visitors coming from 15 to 20 states a year.
There are three main components: approximately 20 display gardens built in three days; over 350 exhibitors selling high quality garden-related products, and over 90 free seminars on three stages, including a do-it-yourself demo stage.
The show also has 10 City Living balcony gardens, an Ikebana display, and a floral competition.
The show was started in 1989 by Duane and Alice Kelly, remaining in the downtown Seattle Washington State Convention Center ever since.
[3] Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals are presented to the display gardens by a panel of three judges.
