DAYTON — It may be chilly, but it is time to think Spring. If you are struggling with motivation to get started or just do not have any ideas, the Home and Garden Show is a one-stop-shop for you.
“Definitely getting some ideas of what to do this Summer,” said David Cowan.
He and his wife Tina, like so many, went to the show to browse with some projects in mind.
“Mostly the garden stuff, then thinking about remodeling in the bathroom,” said Cowan.
The displays are plentiful and unique. They include a door that easily transforms your garage into a screened-in porch, then there are mattresses, sheds, windows, riding mowers (including a hot pink Jessica Simpson model), and lots of stuff for you garden.
“This year we want to focus on the front yard so we’re looking for landscapers, maybe just general ideas. Something to inspire us,” said Jason Lambert.
“Because we’ve had such a tough Winter, people are really excited about all the plants that are here, and all the landscaping experts,” said Doug Hart, the floor manager for the Kitchen and Bath show. This is the first time it has been included as part of the home show.
“We have a 170 vendors at the Home and Garden show and the kitchen and bath show this year. If you’re planning any kind of project around your home, I think you’ll find what you’re looking for right here. There are a lot of experts here,” Hart said.
Speaking of experts, we did some cooking with the Chefs at Kroger who served up a yummy pasta dish.
With so much green everywhere, people – including the Cowans – are just waiting on it to really feel like Spring.
“I was hoping to get a little earlier start than this, but the weather’s held it all back so I plan on doing a lot in the yard this year,” said David Cowan.
