Now in its 15th year, Sorticulture is a celebration of creative outdoor living, featuring hand-crafted art for the garden, rare plants from specialty nurseries, display gardens and fun projects for the kids, all in the beautiful arboretum setting of Legion Park in north Everett. Soak up hundreds of ideas for creating your own dynamic outdoor environment.
At Sorticulture, discover the perfect complement for your garden: sculptures, water features, trellises, rustic furniture, unique birdhouses, stepping-stones, eye-catching glass art for the outdoors and much more. Find the perfect new locally grown plant for that spot in your yard. New this year, check out artisan lighting for your garden, sheds and chicken coops made from recycled materials and repurposed scuba tanks become melodic bells for your outdoor living room.
Pick up green-thumb tips and tricks from the northwest’s top gardening experts, including KING 5’s Ciscoe Morris Saturday, at 2 pm.
After a day of browsing amongst the display gardens and unique garden art treasures, spend the afternoon relaxing in the wine garden, enjoying live music performed by bands including Nettle Honey and Spoonshine from the Back Porch Stage.
