Returning for its second year, the crowd-pleasing “Garden Wars” charity event will have showgoers cheering on their favorite news anchors and media personalities as they scramble to create gardens “on-the-clock.” All the fun takes place daily from 1pm to 3pm in the North Hall.

GREAT PLANT PICKS If you’re planting a new garden — or looking to add new plants to spice up an existing one — a visit to Great Plant Picks (GPP) should be on your “to do” list when you visit the show.

Located on the Garden Floor, this year’s display includes an outstanding selection of plants that not only thrive west of the Cascades, but also attract bees, butterflies, birds and hummingbirds. Designed by Courtney Olander of Olander Garden Design, “The Birds & The Bees” spotlights GPP’s 2016 selection of perennials, bulbs, shrubs and trees. Arranged in a series of attractive containers, showgoers will be directed to the GPP website for detailed information about the plants’ outstanding qualities, growth habits and culture.

Great Plant Picks is an educational program of the Elisabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden. It debuted in 2001 with the first recommendations for a comprehensive palette of outstanding plants for our region’s maritime climate. The only program of its kind in the Pacific Northwest, selected plants are chosen by a committee of professional horticulturists from Oregon, Washington, & British Columbia.

BIG, BLOOMING DISPLAY GARDENS CELEBRATE “AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL” THEME AT THE NORTHWEST FLOWER & GARDEN SHOW CELEBRATING AMERICA’S NATIONAL PARKS, LANDMARKS AND ICONIC ATTRACTIONS The Northwest Flower & Garden Show spotlights the work of top regional landscape design professionals in spectacular display gardens.

Celebrating the 2016 show theme, “America the Beautiful,” the designers incorporate elements into big, blooming gardens as the show celebrates the National Parks Service Centennial and other iconic attractions. The show will host a Ranger Station adjacent to the show’s Solera Wine Garden on the Display Gardens floor, where National Parks Service staff will be available to provide trip-planning tips and answer questions about your next family adventure.

These crowd-pleasing gardens reflect the expertise, planning and hard work of their Garden Creators – blending flowers, shrubs, trees, hardscape materials, water features, artwork and structures into jewel-like settings, each accented by theatrical lighting.

These gems are not only stunning to admire, they’re full of inspirational features you can incorporate into your own garden, all grounded in Earth-friendly, sustainable techniques.

FLOWER GROWERS OF PUGET SOUND

A NATION REMEMBERS This year’s show theme, “America the Beautiful” embraces not only our natural wonders but also iconic elements of our rich history. Perhaps there is no greater symbol of our nation than the massive obelisk standing tall in Washington, D.C., the Washington Monument.

PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD VOTING

The collective efforts of the Flower Growers Team focus on creating a spectacular accent to the monument with extensive use of blooming perennials, shrubs, bulbs and grasses. And with over 3,500 Japanese flowering cherry trees planted around the actual monument and Tidal Basin in Washington D.C., the show’s version includes its own flowering cherry gems right down the center of the garden.

FLOWER GROWERS OF PUGET SOUND

VI KNUTZEN

DESIGNS BY DELEUW

TRAINING FOR ZION With its climbing wall for play and training (…perhaps prepping for an adventure in Utah’s Zion National Park?), this is a place where friends and family can congregate to plan their next adventure.

For those who love the outdoors, try new things and play as hard as they work, this garden is designed as an outdoor extension of their home. Clean lines and modern elements are used to make the best use of space, and glass components are incorporated to generate splashes of color and light. Unusual plant pairings in containers are used throughout the garden to soften the areas.

Whether it’s a place to play, train or just chill, this garden aims to match the lure of Zion, one of our most spectacular national parks.

WASHINGTON PARK ARBORETUM

THE HOH: AMERICA’S RAIN FOREST One of the best examples of a temperate rain forest in the world is only a four hour drive from Seattle. It’s the Hoh Rain Forest on Washington’s Olympic Peninsula.

Throughout the winter season, rain falls frequently in the Hoh Rain Forest, contributing to the yearly total of 140 to 170 inches (or 12 to 14 feet!) of precipitation each year.

Within the confines of the Convention Center, a misty “rain” falls continuously to create an 800-square-foot microclimate inside this diorama.

You’ll view a likeness of this ancient, temperate rain forest with giant trees draped with licorice ferns and club moss, while vine maples’ jewel-tone chartreuse leaves “pop” against the deep greens of the rain forest.

All of the plants will be native and are a true representation of what can be found in the Hoh Rain Forest.

NORTHWEST FLOWER & GARDEN SHOW’S “THEME GARDEN”

A TRIBUTE TO HOLE #12 AT AUGUSTA This garden pays homage to “Amen Corner,” the signature hole at Georgia’s Augusta National Golf Club — home to “The Masters,” one of the world’s most prestigious golf tournaments.

“The Masters” is held each year during the first week of April and this garden reflects the course’s seasonal colors during the tournament: its famed azaleas, blooming tulips in hues of lavender and purple, and magnolias against a backdrop of pines. Golfers make their way to the green via a scenic bridge inspired by the ‘Hogan Bridge’ at Augusta.

The garden features a putting green using Caraway Thyme (though synthetic turf would provide another option for a year-around, environmentally-friendly putting surface).

But danger lurks for the golfer — the green is surrounded by sand bunkers ready to welcome an errant shot!

SOUTHWEST SERENITY Inspired by the many National Parks in the Southwest, “Southwest Serenity” conveys the warmth and natural beauty of that region in a welcoming, desert-like backyard setting.

The Design Team invites you to view a canyon landscape with a striking waterfall feature. The extensive use of lighter, “high plains” stone is partnered with droughttolerant plants including yuccas, pines, succulents and cacti. The outdoor fireplace is a welcoming and functional focal point: this is a place to entertain and relax, and the warmth of the fireplace extends the season of outdoor enjoyment.

Art? You’ll see various and unusual cacti and Echeveria providing natural sculptures, and pottery filled with lush desert plants. Behind the beauty, there’s a time-saving, environmentally-friendly focus: the plant material here reduces the need to tap into our water resources.

NATURE PERFECT LANDSCAPE AND DESIGN

THE TINY TETONS

The National Park Service calls these “mountains of the imagination,” and the majestic beauty of Wyoming’s Grand Teton National Park is the inspiration for this garden’s rugged “mountainscape” and meadows.

The Garden Creator has placed emphasis on generating a strong sense of depth in the design. The not-so-tiny “Tetons” here are created by massing hulking Huckleberry rock columns together to form an eye-catching backdrop. As visitors peer over boulders and specimen trees fronting the garden, they will survey a meadow-like setting spotlighting a large number of easy-to-maintain, drought resistant plants.

Though the origin of the name remains up for debate — named for the Teton Sioux tribe or by lonely French-Canadian trappers — the Grand Tetons continue to fuel our sense of adventure and imagination to this day.

CASCADIA EDIBLE LANDSCAPES

EDIBLE NEIGHBORHOOD – A FOOD SYSTEM ON EVERY BLOCK Our National Parks and their natural splendor have connected generations of Americans…a common experience many of us can share. This garden extends sharing to the neighborhood level, creating new ways for people to connect through edible gardening.

Harkening back to the days when you shared seedlings and cuttings during “over the fence” conversations with neighbors, this garden spotlights how growing edible gardens provide a catalyst for community connectivity. Here you’ll find a small scale food system that includes not only veggie gardening, but mini orchards, berry patches, fruiting vines and medicinal plants.

Shared gardens, utilizing spaces in a coordinated way — and sometimes across property lines — create new, carbon-free ways to grow quality food while connecting us through community self-sufficiency.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK: CAT PADS! ON BROADWAY

PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD VOTING

America’s symbols aren’t limited to towering peaks, grand parks or famous structures.

In this garden, the Garden Creator’s imagination has been inspired by the iconic, longrunning Broadway show, “CATS.”

GARDEN

The scene is a high-rise terrace garden in the heart of bustling New York City and this cat-friendly “catio” includes whimsical cat-scale representations of Big Apple geographic landmarks. These are activity areas where the felines play, strut, bat, lounge and drink from the “East River” as they circumnavigate the terrace.

It’s truly a cat-friendly haven, incorporating ornamentals and perennials that are nontoxic to cats. Instead you’ll find plants that fuel their enjoyment: catnip, catmint, and ornamental and edible grasses. Roses, abutilons, mints, cat-safe palms and ferns add beauty and structure.

Humans are welcome, of course, though these cats may be too preoccupied to care!

FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA – NANTUCKET, MASSACHUSETTS Creating a delightful counterpoint to Coupeville, Washington — the West Coast destination in a two-garden collaboration by two Designers — the spirit of Nantucket Island is brought to life here.

Like Coupeville, Nantucket shares strong ties to the sea. Fishing, lobstering and whaling were economic mainstays for centuries, and today historical elements have been preserved for visitors and seasonal residents who flock to this island.

In keeping with the “Sea to Shining Sea” tandem of gardens, this garden salutes and celebrates the attributes of the town: a cottage with its weather-worn greyed shingles and white trim is surrounded by a very traditional garden. Its patriotic red, white and blue color theme is strikingly executed in repeated pattern plantings of boxwood, hydrangeas and yews. A Sperm Whale — in the form of a large wooden wall hanging — is an ode to the rich whaling tradition of yesteryear.

FROM SEA TO SHINING SEA – COUPEVILLE, WASHINGTON

PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD VOTING

Right in our own backyard, Whidbey Island is home to Coupeville, the second oldest town in our state. Its charm is celebrated here, and it is also the “left coast” complement to the display garden celebrating Nantucket, Massachusetts, on America’s eastern shore.

Colorful and slightly quirky, travelers make their way to this seaside town to enjoy the spectacular natural saltwater setting. A destination for many for generations, Coupeville’s historic Blue Goose Inn Bed & Breakfast is depicted here — including its eye-catching pink-with-blue-trim exterior! Oysters, crabs and a kayak — symbolizing the ties this town has to Puget Sound — are found throughout the landscape.

Metal sculptures — herons, bear, a moose and more — accentuate the Northwest flavor of Coupeville in the unusual “From Sea to Shining Sea” pairing of two gardens — the result of a collaboration between two Designers.

THE ESSENCE OF YELLOWSTONE This garden is a tribute to the “grand-daddy” of all National Parks: Yellowstone.

The rich variety of flora and fauna within the nation’s oldest National Park is conveyed, with naturally shed elk and deer antlers reflecting the large native wildlife populations within the park. And a waterfall and environmentally-friendly pond system are surrounded by placements of natural stone and plantings to create a tranquil “meadow” and inviting outdoor living space.

Though this backyard sanctuary is a place to reflect and relax, it wouldn’t be complete without a representation of “Old Faithful,” the towering natural geyser that erupts predictably every 35 to 120 minutes. Here the Garden Creator has incorporated a fountain to symbolize one of the park’s most popular natural wonders.

PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD VOTING

If you’ve ever fantasized about living amidst Washington’s rugged North Cascades, sometimes called “America’s Alps,” this garden may be the catalyst for making it a reality. It’s a tranquil, sub-alpine valley setting visually punctuated by firs, red osier dogwoods, native rhodies; sword, dear, and maidenhair ferns; and iris, daffodils, fritillary, tulips, carex, bog rosemary and other plantings.

A visual focus is a former fire lookout tower, offering the resident or visitor a respite from the cold nights. It’s an inspiring place to relax, write or meditate while taking in the views of the picturesque valley. Leaving that man-made perch, a trail takes you past a vertical wall of lush ferns with an occasional fallen tree or overhanging native shrub to navigate around. In the distance you see a warm camp fire, nestled on the bank of a dry riverbed, with a natural log bench. You feel like you are home.

AN ORCHID ERUPTION - HONORING VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK From tropical settings to mighty volcanoes, this theatrical garden showcases the delicate beauty of its stars — large beautiful orchid specimens, all arranged to be admired individually.

You’ll be taking a journey — passing through a fissure in an “active” volcano to see thriving orchids clinging to nooks and cracks in the walls. The short path leads to a lush setting where you’re surrounded by beautiful flowers, then winding amidst large tropical foliage plants to the outside world. And you don’t have to worry about dodging lava flows – a water feature simulates lava flowing from the volcano crest!

The collaborative efforts of the Orchid Society Team have focused on displaying orchids in an outward direction for an intimate look at these beauties of nature.

Mount Rainier National Park was founded in 1899, and though we may visit the spectacular park itself, the towering visage of Mount Rainier on a clear day is a reminder of its visual impact on our lives: “The Mountain is out today!”

An active household will enjoy spending time together in this cozy patio area sheltered by a pagoda with a natural rock waterfall nearby.

SUBARU IS A PROUD SPONSOR OF THE NORTHWEST FLOWER & GARDEN SHOW. Subaru is proud to once again partner with O’Loughlin Trade Shows as the premier sponsor of the Northwest Flower & Garden Show. This year’s theme, America the Beautiful, is befitting with the upcoming celebration of the National Park Service Centennial!

Subaru will have 2 major displays with vehicles all decked-out and ready to go explore. Their displays depict some of the great adventures you can experience in the national parks all set inside the beauty of nature’s garden. Subaru will be located in the Atrium Lobby and on the Skybridge. Stop by the Subaru display on the Skybridge to pick up a free butterfly pollinator seed pack, while supplies last!

SUBARU AND THE NATIONAL PARKS Both Subaru and their customers have a long-standing relationship with the national parks. Subaru has raised nearly $3 million for the parks through their “Share the Love” event.

Subaru donated vehicles for park usage and is the only official automotive partner of the National Park Service’s Centennial.

SUBARU RETAILERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY Subaru retailers also do their part by adopting environmentally friendly facilities and policies in their local communities. They get out into the community and roll up their sleeves to help promote environmental responsibility.

To learn more about the Subaru Love Promise and Subaru Loves the Earth, our causes, partners and Subaru retailers in their communities, please visit: http://www.subaru.com/love-promise.

SUBARU OF INDIANA AUTOMOTIVE Subaru has a vehicle manufacturing plant in Indiana, Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA). SIA is a leader in environmental practices. In 2003, SIA was the first U.S. auto plant to be designated a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation. In 2004, Subaru of Indiana Automotive (SIA) became the first U.S. automotive plant to achieve zero landfill status, where 100% of manufacturing waste is either recycled or turned into electricity.

SUBARU ZERO-LANDFILL MANIFESTO: WHO WE ARE IS WHAT WE LEAVE BEHIND. It’s been said our lives, our legacies, are simply the sum total of all the choices we make. Theodore Roosevelt certainly understood this when, in 1906, he fought the conventional wisdom of his time and set aside millions of acres of land to be preserved for future generations. And it’s something Subaru understood when, over a decade ago, we became the first U.S. auto manufacturer to achieve zero landfill, with all waste recycled or turned into electricity. It wasn’t easy.

Doing the right thing rarely is.

But like President Roosevelt, Subaru made a commitment to something they believe in: the future. It’s this promise that now leads them to share their expertise with the National Park Service as they work together toward the goal of making our irreplaceable national treasures zero-landfill as well. Because loving the earth means understanding you can’t throw anything away, because there simply is no “away.”

A perfect plan for a meandering walkway

Exceptional plants for exceptional gardeners

1. ‘Serotina’ honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum ‘Serotina’, USDA Hardiness Zones 5–9)

Mountain snowbells (Soldanella montana) ZONES: 4 to 7 CONDITIONS: Full sun to partial shade; rich, acidic, moist, well-drained soil

Photo:Top right, Joshua McCullough; Illustration: Grace McEnaney

2. Lady’s mantle (Alchemilla mollis, Zones 4–7) 3. ‘Dropmore’ catmint (Nepeta ‘Dropmore’, Zones 4–8) 4. ‘Pritchard’s Variety’ bellflower (Campanula lactiflora ‘Pritchard's Variety’, Zones 5–8) 5. Hardy geranium (Geranium sanguineum, Zones 3–8) 6. ‘Oehme’ palm sedge (Carex muskingumensis ‘Oehme’, Zones 4–8) 7. Miss Willmott’s ghost (Eryngium giganteum, Zones 4–9) 8. Hart’s-tongue fern (Asplenium scolopendrium, Zones 4–9) —Design by Sharon Nyenhuis for a garden in Port Angeles, Washington

Meet one of the cutest little plants imaginable. Atop 4- to 6-inch-long stems, mountain snowbells has fringed lavender early-spring bells, which look impossibly charming above the buttonlike, rich green foliage. This plant is a tiny triumph of proportion and presentation that looks 8 inches wide so right. We’re not ashamed to admit that, when it blooms, we get the same feeling as when we see puppies or kittens.

Mountain snowbells is a plant for cool gardens due to its high-altitude origins. This plant is hardy enough to be grown in Finland, so winter cold is seldom an issue, especially with snow cover; in fact, it may survive in locations colder than Zone 4 if a blanket of snow provides insulation. Too much sun or dryness can lead to yellowing foliage, but pests and diseases are seldom a problem. If you grow this treasure in a woodland area, shady rock garden, or special trough planter, then you will be amply rewarded by whimsical flowers and a few self-sown seedlings.
