Home and Garden Show 2007
What can I expect at this year’s Home & Garden Show?
ANSWER: Get ready for the summer of 2007 as you plan to beat high gas prices by vacationing in your own backyard. Join thousands of others who plan to have an "AT-HOME SUMMER VACATION". Fix up your yard this spring so your family can enjoy it in the summer. Make a decision to create a yard paradise for your family and friends -maybe it's redoing or building a new deck, or a swimming pool; what about that fish pond you've wanted for so long or the gazebo she's been talking about? Don't forget about a new flowerbed or two or that outdoor kitchen that would make the 4th of July party the best in the neighborhood. There's probably quite a few things you can improve, install or create to set the stage for a wonderful summer, full of fun for your family, your friends and you.
Begin planning at the 40th Wichita Garden Show to make those changes this spring in your yard that you've thought about and talked about for quite awhile. There will be experts to answer your questions, incredible indoor gardens that illustrate landscaping techniques for your yard, new and unusual yard products, people to tell you how to do it or someone who can do it for you -- New in 2007!! are the "You Can Do This in Your Yard" Display Areas featuring latest yard products in landscaped settings or demonstrations on how to do yard projects yourself. Watch a deck or a water garden being built or check out the latest in irrigation equipment or new ideas on what to plant in a large urn for patio gardening. Every exhibitor hosting a Display Area will be happy to answer any questions you have. Look for the picket fences, flashing lights and follow the footprints from one Idea Display Area to another--- and, don't forget to take photos of ideas you want to try. You will find hundreds of ideas to use in your yard and you can compare prices at the same time.
Make planning and implementing the improvements to your yard a family affair and part of the backyard experience. Then in the summer of 2007, forget the traffic jams, the high costs of vacations, the stress and hurrying around - stay home, relax and enjoy it. You and your family deserve a sanctuary where you can play, exercise, enjoy Nature and soothing outdoor beauty, and have fun. Remember, it's the experience of the yard that makes the great family memories.
