The garden show is officially open! Not that you’d know it… Today was a big day for Seattle as we welcomed home our beloved Seahawks. With 700,000 people packing the streets of downtown Seattle the show felt a little empty. The show opened at 9am and the parade was scheduled for 11am. From the moment we got onto the ferry we were surrounded by the 12th Man which made it hard to get around the city, find a parking spot or spot a cab. When we finally got to the Convention Center we were late and met with a problem with the garden’s rill. After some observation and a few system checks the fix was fairly simple, it just needed more water!
After a few hours of meeting and greeting show attendees Kristen and I went down to see if we could see some of the parade. We sat down there for quite sometime and made it until we saw the team busses, the Sea Gals and some other team members we got squished by some rather large folks and decided we were done. We escaped and went to the steakhouse on the same block and watched the rest of the parade on the bar’s TV over some delicious salads. The rest of the day went well. We met some fabulous folks and received great feedback on the garden. We will be back tomorrow and we anticipate to see a more “normal” attendance rate.
***We are working to get the plant list up and running on the site. Thank you for your patience as we complete that project.
