Plant Sale at Lake Forest Park Garden Market June 20, 2026

By Lee Rolfe

Did you impulse-buy your summer color spots from the big box stores back in April?

Are you now itching to add unique additions to your deck containers, borders or beds?

Focus your attention on the extraordinary plants offered at a one-day garden market as part of the Lake Forest Park Garden Tour. 

In the lower level of the Town Center Commons on June 20th is the Lake Forest Park Garden Market. It is free and open to the public. Not shipped from Canada or California, these plants are:

 

• Locally grown and propagated, thus acclimated to grow here in the Pacific Northwest
• Uncommon, native, and heirloom specimens
• Extremely varied: perennials, flowers, trees, ferns, groundcovers, pre-bonsai stock

Save your travel fuel and spend more time in your garden: these professional local growers are gathering at the Town Center, from 9:00am -3:00pm on June 20, 2026.

Check out their online plant lists – they could be growing and bring to market that inaccessible gem you’ve been searching for. 

They can offer you insights on growing and propagating in their local neck of the woods: Woodinville, Port Orchard, Gig Harbour, Fall City, Kingston, Port Ludlow, and Shoreline.

These unique nurseries include:
