Join Sunnyside Nursery this year at Sorticulture, at our retail booth & at one of our talks!
Sorticulture is a three-day outdoor festival that celebrates the best parts of Pacific Northwest outdoor living. Hosted in the seaside city of Everett, WA, Sorticulture is the premier festival for garden art, local plants and flowers and handmade outdoor products. There is FREE admission, a great lineup of artists & vendors (including US!), excellent bars and restaurants as well as a few snack vendors AND classes by us & THE Ciscoe Morris, as well as some great music acts lined up on the Sunnyside Nursery Garden Stage this year!
