The Frondersa Frolic was started by Judith Jones and is held at the Fancy Fronds site in Goldbar, nestled next to the Skykomish river. Judith is one of the country’s foremost fern experts or, as she calls herself, a “pteridomaniac.” Her wild and whimsical show gardens at the Northwest Flower & Garden Show have won many Founder’s Cup awards over the years, and are always crowd pleasers.

So it’s worth the beautiful drive up to Gold Bar to join in the fun for some exciting plants and garden art.

The Frolic will be held August 14 – 15 from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm at 40830 172nd Street SE, Gold Bar. Directions are on the Fancy Fronds website at www.fancyfronds.com. - Janet
