Local garden centers are participating in the Northwest Garden and Flower show.

Owners John and Toni Christianson say they would call it hard work except for the fact that they have so much fun! Their Hilltop Farm display garden design is anchored in John and Toni’s inspired travels to the Lake District in England.
