Every year hundreds of plant breeders and growers travel to Portland to show off their newest shrubs, trees, and flowers to garden center buyers, landscapers, and garden designers from around the country. The Farwest Show is one of the largest nursery trade shows in the country.
Later this month, 10 lucky winners will go behind-the-scenes at the Show to meet top, local growers and see brand new plants coming on the market. They will also tour the New Variety Showcase with the garden’s designers. And how can you enter to win??
The Oregon Association of Nurseries organizes this show (which is for wholesalers) as well as two events for home gardeners. In spring, it’s the Yard, Garden & Patio Show, and coming up in September is Le Tour des Plants.
Le Tour is a self-guided tour of nurseries in the Portland metro area (including southwest Washington) and throughout the Willamette Valley. There’ll be display gardens, ideas for fall planting, helpful hints, hands-on demonstrations, discounts, special drawings, and lots of inspiration!
To stay in touch with all the Le Tour des Plants activities through the Random Acts of Gardening blog and to enter your name for the behind-the-scenes tour of the Farwest Show, sign up to receive email updates and share what gardening means to you.
Deadline is Thursday, August 13th. Good luck!
