Garden Expo History

The best garden show in the Inland Pacific Northwest--Spokane’s premier garden party and the local gardening community’s pride and joy. 


The Spokane Garden Expo has its roots in the community. Our first show was in 1999, and with each year, the show promoters, The Inland Empire Gardeners, grow and improve the quality of the show. Bringing together products and professional services of horticultural and garden-related businesses, we intend to promote the Inland Pacific Northwest as a gardener's paradise.
 

In addition to diverse vendors, we bring you a speaker's series which provides education and inspiration for gardeners of all levels. Food vendors and a once-a-year nursery plant buying opportunity round out the events of the 2021 Garden Expo.
