West Seattle Nursery is part of the Northwest Flower and Garden show again this year, running through Feb. 12 and have designed, built and installed an asian influenced garden display called Satori.
The show's theme this year is Floral Symphony and lead designers Jennifer Gaikowski and Jeannine James, working with WS Nursery Manager Marcia Bruno and Dave Storms built a kind of house with statues, plants, and a musical basin. Inside the basin or large fountain base float candles that when they strike one another or the edge create a gentle bell like sound.
Bruno said, "We wanted it to be a little rustic, so it looked like a Japanese Tea House. It's not raining inside the building but we put a rain chain there which would make sound if there were water on it. We tried to make it tranquil."
Storms spent about two weeks on the construction elements.
All the items in the display are available for sale at the store, except the tea house.
"We kept adding things to the display until it got really full!," said Bruno with a laugh.
The Northwest Flower and Garden Show is open now through– Saturday: 9am – 8pm
