What: The biggest and best bulb sale in the region
It‘s bulb-planting season, and area gardeners will be flocking to the Arboretum Foundation‘s annual Fall Bulb & Plant Sale, which features the best selection of spring-blooming bulbs in the Puget Sound region. The sale takes place on October 3 and 4 at beautiful Washington Park Arboretum. Hundreds of varieties of daffodils, tulips, crocuses, cyclamen, and much more will be available. See a full catalog of bulbs on the Arboretum Foundation website.
Companion plants: Need shrubs, ferns, or perennials for your garden or to complement your bulbs? Several of the region‘s top specialty nurseries will be present at the Sunday event selling choice companion plants. What‘s more, the Arboretum‘s Pat Calvert Greenhouse and Plant Donations Nursery will be open throughout the event, and will be selling a wide array of herbaceous and woody plants. Volunteers from the greenhouse will be present on each of the sale days to help you with your plant selections. Donations volunteers will be on-hand for the Sunday sale and Saturday Member Pre-Sale.
Member Pre-Sale: Arboretum Foundation members may shop early at the Member Pre-sale, Saturday, October 2, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Not a member? No sweat! Just join at the door and enjoy first pick of the bulbs at the Sale!
Bonsai Bonanza: As a special feature this year, we will be selling a collection of bonsai trees donated to the Arboretum by a generous member of the Foundation. It‘s a marvelous collection of 20 trees of varying ages and sizes, including conifers, broadleaf species, and bamboo. See our full-color, illustrated bonsai catalog for descriptions and prices.
Seasonal tours and kids’ activities: Also new this year at the Sunday sale will be a kids‘ table hosted by educators from the University of Washington Botanic Gardens. Parents and kids can take a break from shopping and enjoy free, fall-themed educational activities, such as creating leaf rubbings and using pressed leaves to make cards. In addition, the UWBG‘s knowledgeable garden guides will lead free seasonal tours of the Arboretum on Sunday, October 3, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The morning tour will showcase the fall foliage of the Japanese maples in the Arboretum.
Parking and admission are free! The sale raises important funds for the Arboretum. For more information, call 206-325-4510, e-mail or visit our website.
