VENUES
Days 1 + 2
Monday, June 26-Tuesday, June 27, 2023
The 2023 Slow Flowers Summit will be held at Bellevue Botanical Garden in Bellevue, Washington. The 53-acre Gardens include several smaller gardens - each with its own focus and character. A highlight for our attendees is the Perennial Border. Renowned for year-round dramatic displays, the perennial border is an example of a distinctively American-style mixed border and is a living demonstration of what works best in Northwest gardens.
You'll revel in thousands of perennials, shrubs, bulbs, evergreens, and trees that provide color and beauty year-round. This is the largest public perennial garden in the country maintained entirely by volunteers. The Northwest Perennial Alliance created and maintains this award-winning garden.
