Sorticulture, Everett's Garden Festival, is a three-day celebration of the best parts of Pacific Northwest outdoor living. Hosted in the seaside city of Everett, Washington, Sorticulture is the premier festival for garden art, local plants and flowers, and handmade outdoor products. From classical to whimsical, abstract to figurative, Sorticulture features fountains, trellises, iron and cement sculpture, found objects, mosaics and more!
Fun activities for kids!
We encourage gardening for all ages and have incorporated some fun youth activities into Sorticulture! Thank you to our partners in fun for youth in downtown Everett!
