Display gardens at the 2023 NWFG Festival

I've got just one more part of the recent NWFG Festival to share, and that is the large display gardens. I won't be chronicling them all, just the bits that caught my eye. First up is "Me Encanta Orquídeas" (I love orchids) from the NW Orchid Society...Orchids are fun, ya? Honestly I took one look at the garden and thought it was a golf course, with orchids.
I mean it would be a great golf course, but it doesn't feel like a garden meant to share the love of orchids—for that I need to get close to the plants.
On the other hand at least it was interesting enough to cause me to stop and look and take photos. There were many gardens that didn't even manage that.
Oh! Golf course! Well, okay no, just a putting green. (Alpine Greens from Adam Gorski Landscapes Inc). Not my thing.
"Evoke Your Inner Yellowstone" from Method Hardscapes, LLC. I wouldn't mind glamping like this, but I don't need "tastefully appointed comfort" in my own backyard, that's what my house is for! My garden is for plants, all the cool plants. Hmmm, still wouldn't mind camping here though.
"Honey Pot Garden" from the Washington Association of Landscape Professionals. How did that name make it through the layers of approval (people who actually said "yes!") to be used? I kept looking for the honey bucket but never did spot it.
"Falling Water Greenhouse" from Nature Perfect Landscaping & Design and Northwest Green Panels. I did not manage to get decent photos from this one, but loved how they'd designed the water to start behind the greenhouse and flow into and through it. Well done!
Here it is coming out the other side. There was a line to walk through the greenhouse and inside looked a little COVID-claustrophobic, so I didn't venture in. I would have love to see what they'd done inside though, and now I'm dreaming of a greenhouse with water flowing through it.
This was my very favorite display garden, it felt like a garden and it was inspiring! "Shaded from Reality" by West Seattle Nursery.

So many details to take in! There is a page on the nursery's website dedicated to the garden, complete with photos and a plant list—find that here.
I loved the edging material of stumps and logs.

And the reclaimed windows are fabulous.
Moss and seedpod details!
Also included (I think) are sansevieria leaves, fern fronds, and maybe boxwood branches?
Another fabulous detail; the way the plants continued under the structure.
Excellent fern wall.
I loved everything about this display! Well done West Seattle Nursery!
Just one more garden to share, "Branching Out. Living with History" from Elandan Gardens, LTD. Nice chunky stone...
...and the limited plant palette that complimented the stone so well.

I also really wanted to plant this up. So bad!
And I would love this trunk scoop too...
