The 2010 Central Ohio Home & Garden Show

The Columbus Dispatch newspaper in Columbus, Ohio, will soon be hosting the 2010 Central Ohio Home & Garden Show, presented by PNC.

The 2010 Garden Show will be held February 27 – March 7, 2010 at the Ohio Expo Center on the Ohio State Fairgrounds in Columbus Ohio. The theme of the show will be “Art in Bloom” and the display will include living landscapes inspired by masterpiece works of art, and feature stunning sculptures, paintings and other pieces within the gardens.

There will be fourteen full-sized gardens on display for visitors to enjoy, and experts will be on hand to talk with guests about how they can achieve the same looks.

With more than 400 exhibits and attractions, the 54th Central Ohio Home and Garden Show promises to be one of North America’s most exciting and interactive home and garden shows. I’m excited because it’s almost in my back yard. Well, at least it’s closer than most events I’d love to attend. I live a couple hours from Columbus, but I think I’ll have to make the trip to see this years Garden Show.
