Maybe it's the fact that it is 17 degrees here in Lake Norman this morning, but the thought of going to the 5th Annual  Greater Charlotte Home and Landscape Show  on January 23 - 25 sounds really good!

This Home and Landscape show incorporates just about everything I love about real estate and selling homes:

  • Gardens and Landscaping
  • Building and Remodeling
  • Home Improvement Products
  • Building Green Seminars
  • Gourmet Gifts, Wines and Pottery

There will be celebrities like Roger Cook, the landscape contractor from This Old House who will share new trends in landscaping and Chef Lou Petrozza from Fox TV's "Hell's Kitchen" who will be giving cooking demonstrations.

I always gravitate to the live garden displays where vendors like Barefoot Landscape, Woodlands Landscaping and Toms Creek Nursery and Landscaping  promise to have displays including an outdoor cobblestone patio with fire pit, built-in kitchen, a small water feature with a focus on drought resistant plants. 

You can also meet with professional landscape designers and meet the team at Earth Graphics Landscape Design and Digital Images display which will explain how they offer "same day mobile landscape design service that produces professional plans without the wait"!

  • Friday, January 23rd @ 2-7pm

Diane - sounds like THE place to be in your neck of the woods. I love going to home and garden types of shows. Even better when the weather is ugly. Seeing flowers at these shows back in Boston in the dea of winter was always a treat. And an inspiration. Have fun.

I was curious if you know the general costs to have a booth at a show like this? We are thinking it might be good for our maid service to have a booth here.

Hi Diane, Your photo is an example of my idea of a great natural looking patio. So well done. The show must be a real inspiration with for the lush area in which you live.

I would love to attend but we have to complete our Ice Sculptures this week. We won't see out lawns until April.

Hi there Diane, This event looks like it's going to be so much fun!

On another note I like your related links at the end of the blog, especially this one; How to Get Rid of Unwanted Catalogues and Help the Environment

Now I know how to stop those unwanted catalogues, thanks!
