You won't want to miss this one on May 10th and 11th. Better yet, take mom! It showcases five distinctive garden-related venues including the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden and the Weyerhauser Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection (both have been featured on Gardening with Ciscoe. I will be at PowellsWood Garden on Sunday, May 11th at 2. It is a great garden so come see me there. The cost for the events at the festival are either low ($3 to $5) or free.
Remember: You always can squeeze in one more plant. Lots of great sales coming up. As I remind you every year, the complete list is at the Elisabeth C. Miller Library. There are more and more every year - check out this great compilation of events.
Even though the list above is very complete, here are a few that people have asked me to mention:
Want something different than a plant sale this week-end? Learn how to identify wild mushrooms, how to grow your own mushrooms, and how to make tasty mushroom treats that will delight the taste buds.

This family-friendly event includes activities for all ages and will focus on how mushrooms fit into our local ecosystem.
The Arboretum Foundation and the University of Washington Botanic Gardens Education Department will host a Mother's Day event at the Washington Park Arboretum, on Sunday, May 11, from 1 to 4 p.m. Families will be able to enjoy beautiful azaleas, rhododendrons, and dogwoods in full bloom along Azalea Way, and have a free photo taken. At the Graham Visitors Center, kids can engage in fun, plant-themed activities, and every mom will receive a special take-home gift!
Get great ideas for your own garden, support a good cause and have a lot of fun. The Elisabeth C. Miller Library lists all the garden tours coming up.
Here are a few upcoming classes in May that should be great.
I will be flying to Anchorage soon to give a talk on May 9th at the big Master Gardener Meeting. I can't wait!
