In several locations each year we host&nbsp;<strong>plant sales<\/strong>&nbsp;that feature vegetables, shrubs, perennials and native plants. We offer&nbsp;<strong>classes<\/strong>&nbsp;to the public at our Bellevue Demonstration Garden and in the Sammamish\/North Bend area, as well as impromptu guidance at 13&nbsp;<strong>demonstration gardens<\/strong>. You can locate a Master Gardener plant clinic or demonstration garden near you on this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mgfkc.org\/resources\/map-of-mg-clinics-and-gardens\">map<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Annually we train&nbsp;<strong>new Master Gardeners<\/strong>&nbsp;interested in serving the community through our volunteer work. Master Gardener&nbsp;<strong>Teaching Kits&nbsp;<\/strong>are classrooms in a box. These Teaching Kits are designed to bring environmental education to schools, community groups, youth programs, and senior centers. Our activities are funded in large part by the&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kingcounty.mastergardenerfoundation.org\/\">Master Gardener Foundation of King Count<\/a>y<\/strong>, a 501(c)(3).

Many of these sales include vendors from smaller specialty nurseries throughout Washington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Garden tours<\/strong>&nbsp;are a great way to get new ideas for your own garden. Many communities and garden groups sponsor these primarily in spring through summer. The <a href=\"https:\/\/botanicgardens.uw.edu\/washington-park-arboretum\/\">Washington Park Arboretum<\/a>&nbsp;and other public gardens offer tours year-round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<strong>Elisabeth C. Miller Library<\/strong>&nbsp;has an extensive&nbsp;<strong>event listing<\/strong>&nbsp;posted at their website, including plant sales and garden tours throughout Puget Sound, as well as parts of Oregon and British Columbia. The <a href=\"https:\/\/depts.washington.edu\/hortlib\/\">Miller Library<\/a> is a gem unto itself. It is open to the public and home to over 15,000 books and 500 periodicals on gardening. They also have nearly a thousand current mail order catalogs from the United States and Canada, with an emphasis on Pacific Northwest nurseries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The website&nbsp;<strong>Great Plant Picks<\/strong>, is a valuable resource for Pacific Northwest gardeners, where descriptions and pictures of nearly 1000 recommended plants that do well in our Northwest gardens can be found.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greatplantpicks.org\/\">Great Plant Picks<\/a>&nbsp;is the primary educational program of the Elisabeth C. Miller Botanical Garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For five days each February, the&nbsp;<strong>Northwest Flower &amp; Garden Show<\/strong>&nbsp;fills the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle. The popular event has heralded the start of spring since 1989 and includes many display gardens, horticulture seminars and demonstrations, and exhibitors.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  wsu-heading--style-marked\">Garden-Related Organizations and Non-Profits<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-row wsu-row--sidebar-left\" >\r\n    \n<div class=\"wsu-column wsu-item-layoutu002du002dflex-column wsu-color-backgroundu002du002dgray-10\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wsu-column wsu-color-backgroundu002du002dgray-5\"  style=\"\">\r\n\t\n\n<p>The Northwest is home to many organizations focused on horticulture.

In addition, there are numerous smaller and specialty nurseries to be discovered. Many of these smaller nurseries are vendors at spring and fall plant sales hosted by horticulture societies and the Master Gardeners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>County, Cities, Districts, Utilities King County, as well as many Puget Sound cities and utilities have extensive natural lawn and yard care resources available to the public. This includes information on composting, mulch, noxious weeds, and \u2018waterwise\u2019 gardening. More information can be found at their websites.
