Garden Expo 2017

The good thing about all of this year’s spring rain is that the growing season’s start has so far been lush and plentiful, making many of us antsy to get our summer gardens started. The time to do so is finally here, so head to The Inland Empire Gardeners’ 18th annual Garden Expo and get your fill of gardening inspiration and growing tips, and find all sorts of plants to add to your collection. In between attending one of the expo’s seminars — including sessions on the local weather’s impact (11:30 am) on our harvests and a talk by garden expert Phyllis Stephens (2:30 pm) — and some casual browsing through dozens of garden-related vendors’ booths, enjoy lunch or a snack, and watch live demos on medicinal plants, setting up a rain barrel and more.

Sat, May 13 from 9 am-5 pm • Free admission and parking • Spokane Community College • 1810 N. Greene • tieg.org
