Whether it’s a colorful window planter for your apartment or condo, or a full-fledge beehive operation in your backyard, the Seattle Home & Garden Show spotlights hobby gardening and urban farming trends at the popular “Yard to Table” showcase. And show attendees can take a “little bit of spring home” with them at the display’s Flower & Bulb Sale with Cascade Cuts (selling tons of flowers!) and a big variety of bulbs and flowers from Pacific Wholesale.

If you are looking to get started - or seeking more ways to take advantage of the space you have to work with, “Yard to Table” is packed with idea-generating attractions.

Features include Northwest gardening guru Ciscoe Morris who hosts his entertaining “Stump the Chump” presentation at 3 p.m. Friday, exhibits spotlighting vertical gardening for small spaces, raised bed gardening with Pyramid Planters, greenhouse growing and soil-less hydroponic gardening products—even a labor-saving excavator from Best Seedling!

Urban farmers—and those who are just curious—can check out a chicken coop for egg-laying friends and a variety of bee farming accessories (including a live beehive) and honey products.
