March 3 - March 7, 2010 - Southern Home Show!
Join us at the 50th Southern Spring Home & Garden Show to be held all weekend at the Charlotte Merchandise Mart!
Again this year, we'll be at the show answering your questions, providing information about new outdoor living trends, landscaping ideas, and scheduling early spring design appointments!
Our garden theme this year is "Alice in Wonderland." The focus is on building kid-friendly play and green spaces in your yard. The kids who visit can play a game in the garden to try to find various hidden icons from Alice in Wonderland!
As the date nears, we'll also be promoting our schedule for which classes and demonstrations we will be displaying this year! It's hard to believe that it's time to start planning for the Spring Home & Garden Show...but we'll see you there!
