Fall Foliage Festival and Plant Sale @ Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden
Oct 27 @ 10:00 am – 4:00 pm

Enjoy a rainbow of colors and bushels of fun at the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden’s Fall Foliage Festival and Plant Sale on October 26-27

Join us for this free event featuring garden tours and plant talks, kids’ scavenger hunt, a food truck, or search for the perfect spot to take that quintessential fall photo. Also shop RSBG’s biggest sale of the year! Discover an immersive wonderland of sights, sounds, and sensations – from cool breezes to rustling leaves and the quiet swaying of golden-brown maple trees.

The garden’s annual Fall Foliage Festival and Plant Sale is sure to please garden enthusiasts and nature lovers of all ages. For plant hunters looking for something special, featured pop-up vendors will bring their cultivated collections to the Rutherford Conservatory terrace.

Dig into a savory dish from a food truck before heading to the Gift Shop for unique garden gifts or peruse the books in the Visitor Center to learn about the beloved Rhododendron species and the natural history of the Pacific Northwest. Our collection of Japanese maples, deciduous azaleas, and other deciduous species never fails to produce a large range of bright colors right before we head into the dark and grey of winter.

Join us for the Family History Quilt Show featuring 150 beautiful quilts made by local Puget Sound quilters. We will be honoring Veterans with a special program at 11AM along with a Patriotic display of red, white, and blue quilts.

Unique to this Quilt Show is our Family History theme with volunteers dressed up sharing stories.  Travel back in time to meet Oregon Trail pioneers, a WW I Fighter Pilot, American Civil War Union soldiers and more.

Come learn some new quilt making skills during our all-day demonstrations.

Help us tie charity quilts to be donated to a local women’s shelter.

If you would like to participate by displaying your quilts in the show or volunteering, please contact:  Elizabeth Thomas at elizabethquilts@hotmail.com.
