Northwest Flower and Garden Show : ウィキペディア英語版 | Northwest Flower and Garden Show The Northwest Flower & Garden Show is an annual exhibition of horticulture held in Seattle, USA, for five days each February. It is the largest garden show west of Philadelphia.〔http://www.heraldnet.com/article/20090131/NEWS01/701319909/1029/LIVING04#Flower.and.garden.show.may.be.kept.alive〕 It is held at the Washington State Convention Center. The show features lush, fully built display gardens (which are judged for awards), over 100 educational and entertaining seminars, and a garden marketplace exclusively for plants, gardening supplies and botanical art - the largest of any garden show in the U.S. The Northwest Flower & Garden Show serves the west coast of North America from Vancouver, B.C. to San Francisco, CA. Attendance ranges from 70,000 - 75,000. The show runs from Wednesday through Sunday, and is typically held in February. The show consists of three main components: approximately 22 display gardens ranging from 500 to 1,500 sq. ft. in size (which are built in only three days), over 350 exhibitors selling garden-related products, and over 100 free seminars on three stages, including a DIY demo stage with garden-to-table cooking demonstrations. The show's 90 Seminar speakers include garden writers and design experts from around the U.S., Canada and Great Britain. Other show features include a container exhibition, children's area, a Vintage Garden Market, Ikebana displays, a floral competition and a sound stage with musicians playing daily. The show was started in 1989 by Duane and Alice Kelly. Since its beginning the Show’s venue has been the Washington State Convention Center in downtown Seattle. It was the first large public event ever held at the Convention Center. Duane Kelly has stated in interviews that he was inspired to start the show by visits he had made in the mid-1980s to the large flower shows in Philadelphia and Boston and by his own passion for gardening and the theater. In 2009 Duane Kelly sold the show to Portland-based O'Loughlin Trade Shows, which has continued the tradition of producing this beloved garden show. 〔(Garden Show.com - Home of the Northwest Flower and Garden Shows )〕〔( CUTTINGS; Far-Flung Inspirations For Itinerant Gardeners ) Anne Raver, New York Times.
