Grow and Gather: A Spring Gardening Festival 

Saturday, April 18, 2026
11:00am – 4:00pm

Join us Saturday, April 18, for a brand new event at Pike Place Market celebrating growers of all kinds. Dig into spring with this free community event celebrating local food, gardening, and hands‑on learning. Designed for everyone, from backyard and community gardeners to visitors curious about where their food comes from. Learn directly from the experts about ways to grow food, discover gardening tips, and explore new ways to cook with fresh produce.

WSU Master Gardeners, Tilth Alliance, and Plant Pathologist Abby Beissinger can help you diagnose what’s wrong with houseplants and set your garden up for success.

Bonus! Free Live Demos: Get your gardening questions answered by Pacific Northwest legend Ciscoe Morris, and learn how to cook with local seasonal ingredients from Chef Traci at the Atrium Kitchen.

Plus! Receive a FREE Pike Place Market-branded seed packet of sunflowers or basil when you spend $25 at any Market farmer on Saturday, April 18th, while supplies last.
