Winter’s Come and Gone- A Lullaby
With the help of Kirsten Lints, Gardens Alive Design, Megan Pulkkinen, Megan Pulkkinen Landscape Design, and the extremely generous contributions from a handful of local nurseries, we are getting the plants collected and stowed away for the Northwest Flower and Garden Show (taking place February 8-12, 2012).
We have collected plants from around the Puget Sound and stored them at Sunnyside Nursery in Marysville, and at Windmill Gardens in Sumner. Thus far the plants have come from Van Klavern’s Nursery, Vibrant Plants, T&L Nursery, Dragonfly Farms Nursery, Valley Nursery.
We still have a few plants to track down however as you can see we’ve been busy driving and collecting the majority of the list plus a few bonus plants we couldn’t resist!
Other news on the show; Ray Hammer, Blue Collar Artwork, is contributing to the fountain and the bench design with his highly creative and artistic steel sculptures. The talented team at Seattle Mosiac Arts is creating a custom 5′x3′ mosaic for the bluebird garden (which I can’t wait to see!). Pacific Stone Company is suppling the permeable pavers for the patio! Plum Projects ((206) 819-0536 plumprojectsllc@gmail.com) is building the Arbor. I just sat down and discussed the final design prior to them ordering the lumber, it is very exciting and will be a treasured piece at the show!
It is coming together wonderfully. I am looking forward to seeing all of the amazing art combine with the beautiful plants. More than anything I am so grateful to be part of the garden show and to be working on it with WSNLA.
Browse the pictures and enjoy!
Don’t forget, Northwest Flower and Garden Show, February 8-12, 2012!
Kirsten Lints, making it happen.
