Northwest Flower and Garden Festival - 2026 Plant List & Update

West Seattle Nursery "Where Stories Take Root"

Designed as a small woodland bookshop nestled among trees, ferns, and shade-loving shrubs, “Where Stories Take Root” centers on a cozy reading retreat that blurs the line between structure and landscape. A deck extends over a gently moving pond, where wooden bowls drift and softly knock together, creating a subtle, rhythmic soundtrack. The path wraps around an intimate, sunken seating circle that invites visitors to gather, linger, and read. Whimsical details, like a chandelier crafted from books and sculptural panels that fan pages into floral forms, add layers of storytelling throughout the space. Created by West Seattle Nursery, the garden celebrates the growing desire for personal outdoor sanctuaries, no matter the size.

Take-home ideas: Design cozy garden “rooms,” layer plants for immersive greenery, and add sensory elements like sound and texture to enrich small spaces.
