Home And Garden Show


Visit the Home and Garden ShowThe annual Home and Garden Show starts at the end of this month. It is a breath of spring for Central Ohio- which we will sorely need if Punxsutawney Phil is right about our extended winter.

It’s a great place to get new ideas and see what’s happening in the Landscape and D-I-Y world. The fragrance from the blooming spring flowers is welcome, and the time of year is right at the transition for most of us up here in the North… not quite ready to actually garden but just on the cusp of when the tree and perennial planting should begin. We don’t get to put out annuals until after our frost date… which is in May. So you see why such events are so nice for us. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was well attended this year in spite of the economy, but you really can’t tell about such things.spring garden
