Chelsea Flower Show

What an experience! Go early in the day and buy the souvenir guide, it’s packed with great resources for garden implements & art, plant&seed suppliers,and all the vendors present as well as a map that gives you the lay of the land so to speak. The show is large & can be over whelming so go slow & pace yourself! I discovered that this is the Oldest Garden Show but by no means is it the Largest! The Hampton Court Flower & Garden Show holds that title & is held the first week in July. I really want to go to it but would miss the festivities here at 3 Tree Point! I’ll have to think about that one!

Because it’s the Mother of all Flower Shows! and it’s an
outdoor venue- unlike the Seattle Flower & Garden Show that I attended in it’s infancy & haven’t been to since. ♥ The Tacoma Flower & Garden Show at Point Defiance Park.

In a gardening-mad nation, the grand event of the season is this Olympics of gardening, a monumental four-day horticultural orgy.
