At the Centennial of Point Defiance Park, the Point Defiance Home and Garden Show debuted. While it was “originally designed to be a one-time event,†according to Marcy Frlan, co-chairing the event this year with Natalie Findlay, it was so successful it was held again last year, and will be again, this year, on June 1, 2 and 3, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., except for Sunday, when it closes at 5 p.m.
While I thought the opening night preview, with its “fabulous '50s-style classy cookout†sounded like a hoot, that “Go Retro†event is by invitation only (I was not invited, sob) I guess I’ll have to settle happily for all the fun and games of the rest of the event.
But how to choose? With highlights like Display Gardens, a Children’s Pavillion, various types of contained gardens and design ideas, Afternoon Teas, a lecture series, food court, arts and crafts, plants, and community growers showing off goods for sale, not to mention the wine and beer garden, I suspect by the time I get there I’ll be that butterfly, flitting about from point to point, landing on occasion when a sight, smell, or taste strikes my fancy.
And since it’s walking distance from my home, I can call it community fun in the name of nature-meets-exercise.
