There will be native plant info, organic gardening tips, a long list of inspiration booths and artisan vendors, guest speakers, an Indigenous plant walking tour, and a tour or the PPNW pollinator garden on the 21 Acres campus. A list of booths and vendors can be found on the event website.

Have your picture taken in a pollinator photo booth, play at the kid’s table, check out entomologist Bob Gillespie’s impressive insects, and enjoy an art display featuring the winning entries for the Woodinville Garden Club Pollinator Art Contest.

We’ll have food trucks! Off the Rez will be serving made-from-scratch Native cuisine, burgers and tacos; and La Rivera Maya will offer Guatemalan/Central American food. And, yes, there will be coffee by Kafe Coffee Cart.

We hope you’ll join in the fun and encourage you to carpool. Additional parking will be available nearby, and this year there’ll be a shuttle from the Woodinville Park & Ride. 

Our Keynote Speaker will be Sue Goetz, a garden designer, writer and speaker, and owner of the garden design business, Creative Gardener. Sue will present “Garden Design for Bees, Butterflies and Other Good Things!” with tips on how to design a garden that not only feeds pollinators but provides habitat for them with shelter, water, eco-friendly care and, of course, the plants! Later, join Sue for a hands-on workshop, “Plant by Number Gardens for Pollinators!” to create your landing spot along a pollinator’s flight path, with tips on how to color up your garden with designer combos for mini, pocket gardens, container gardens, and mixed landscape borders.
