Wasps traps in the Toland Home Garden booth

Okay, this colorful wasp trap picture was shot in Seattle, not Port Townsend, but the company selling the traps, Toland Home Garden is based in Port Townsend. The bad news is that you can’t buy their products directly. Toland is a wholesaler.  The good news is that they sell  their wasp traps online through Mad About Gardening, an advocacy and educational organization which works to “Educate All Gardeners, from Greenhorns to Greenthumbs and to Advocate for the Gardening Community”.

Toland was one of hundreds of vendors at the show. Another Port Townsend vendor, Far Reaches Nursery had a very busy booth, though I didn’t get a usable photo. The nursery owners, Kelly and Sue are self-professed obsessive plant collectors and have propagated unique plants from around the world, especially China and Australia. When spring decides to get here, I’ll drop by their nursery for some pictures. Their nursery fills a unique niche in the gardening world.

B&D Lilies was also at the show with bags and bags of lily bulbs as well as other some bulbs and seeds.
