Hosted by Marketplace Events, the Southern Spring Home & Garden Show is the largest show of its kind in the South. It features hundreds of exhibitors and provides guests with inspirational ideas and the latest trends and products to beautify their homes and gardens. Attendees will mingle with TV celebrities, sample wine and gourmet foods and receive expert advice on home decorating, remodeling, renovating, landscaping and more.
At the Fresh Ideas Stage, guests will hear presentations from home improvement and design experts such as New York Times bestselling author Vern Yip from TLC’s “Trading Spaces” and Matt Blashaw, host of the hit series “Yard Crashers,” which airs on both DIY Network and HGTV. Show visitors can also tour the beautiful Belgard Gardens, featuring a New South Theme, as well as watch chefs prepare innovative cuisine at the cooking stage.
