This year's garden show at the Convention Center in Seattle was a complete blast! The amount of preparation and work that goes into each garden is mind boggling. Our team consisted of a Landscape Designer-Susan Browne of Susan Browne Landscape Design, a Landcaper/Designer-James Sprague of Fancy Plants Gardens, Anders Hagen of Home Restoration and us, plus a ton of volunteers. The theme of this years Garden Show was 'Once Upon a time...' our entry was based on The Three Little Pigs. The name of the garden was Run Piggies Run!! This year I wanted to include a few pictures of the actual process of putting the garden together...it's amazing to watch the garden being built from beginning to end. Take a little peek into this miniature world of The Three Little Pigs...Run Piggies Run!!
