one of the largest of its kind in the Pacific Northwest.
Vendors from far and wide – from nearly the Canadian
border to the California border – come to Portland to
offer the latest plant introductions as well as the
time-tested (and hardiness-tested!) plants.
Complementing the plant vendors are specialty garden art
vendors bringing one-of-a-kind pieces made from metal,
wood, glass, ceramic, fabric, and stone. Each work of
art is handcrafted by the vendor. This is a wonderful
event, and it's particularly nice to have so many
nurseries and artists, with so many plant choices and
specialty works, all under one roof!Admission is Free.
