Even the Master Gardeners will feature flowering plants at their booth. Don’t forget that Master Gardeners will also be on hand to answer your gardening questions at their plant-clinic.

Saturday will find visitors to the show listening to a variety of speakers, including several Master Gardener presenters.

A premier Sunday appearance (noon on Sunday) will be Marianne Binetti. Long a favorite speaker for visitors to the show, she will talk about “The Heavenly H Plants: How to Grow and Use Hydrangeas, Hellebores and Heucheras in Western Washington Gardens.”

The show will be open Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.. Admission and parking are free.
