Interested in Hosting?
The Fling goes where volunteer bloggers or other social media publishers are willing to host. So if you'd like your city to be represented, consider offering to organize a Fling in your hometown. We're scheduling a few years out, so get your city on the lineup now! Not sure what it entails? We're happy to talk with you about it. And you won't be on your own. We'll have your back with a detailed hosting handbook and an experienced advisory board.
FLING SPONSORS
We can't thank our sponsors enough for their support of the Flings! For their financial support and donations, sponsors receive a listing and/or ad space in our sponsor directory, and for certain levels a feature on our blog. Each attendee receives a swag bag with a sponsor directory and sponsored items like seeds and garden tools.
We also hold an exciting raffle where attendees win gardening tools, seeds, products, gift certificates, and more from our generous sponsors.

Every year since 2008, I’ve been lucky enough to attend the annual Garden Fling, a gathering of bloggers, Instagrammers, YouTubers, and other gardeners on social media, held in a different city each year, where for 3-1/2 days we tour gardens, socialize, get a flavor for a new gardening region, and generally have the best time ever. This year we headed to the Pacific Northwest for the Puget Sound Fling, based in Tacoma, Washington, and ranging from Vashon Island to the South Sound and from the Kitsap Peninsula to Seattle. What a marvelous Fling it was!
