2025 Book Signing Schedule
MEET YOUR FAVORITE AUTHORS
Seattle’s Third Place Books, one of the Northwest’s foremost independent booksellers, has teamed with the show to operate our popular Book Signing Station.
The Third Place Books shopping experience is next to the DIY stage and Conference Level Cafe on the 3rd floor - you can’t miss it!
Browse titles from this year’s speakers plus other current and popular gardening titles. You can also find fun gifts related to gardening.
Get your book autographed! Speakers who are also authors head to the Book Signing Station immediately after their seminars to greet audience members, sign books, and answer questions.
Support our speakers and Third Place Books by buying your books during the show and getting them autographed… and remember - autographed books make great, heartfelt gifts for your loved ones!
Many thanks to Third Place Books for operating the festival's Book Signing Station and bookstore. Support the independent bookstore that supports the festival!
Here is the book signing schedule and the books by this year’s speakers, many hot off the presses. You’re sure to find some perfect additions to your garden book library. No ticket refunds in the event of Speaker cancellations.
