Perhaps you, like millions of others, have watched a lot of HGTV over the past two years. Also, like many of those people, you may have stalled on that bathroom renovation, never quite finished that patio, and have a half-painted garage.

Luckily, help is on the way!

The Cincinnati Home and Garden Show, presented by Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky Honda Dealers, returns Feb. 26 and 27, continuing March 3 to 6, bringing more than 400 experts to the Duke Energy Convention Center. You’ll find advice and vendors specializing in landscaping, kitchen and bath, and home improvement.

With so many specialists and so much information, you could get a little overwhelmed. Brianna Stahlmann the marketing director of Marketplace Events, which produces the Home & Garden Show in 65 cities, has some suggestions about how to make the most of your visit.

“We recommend checking out our online Interactive Exhibitor List to see who will be at the show,” says Stahlmann. “You can sort by project/category, like your favorites and send them to yourself via email, find exhibitor show deals and so much more!”

“While there are many exhibitors, what we love about the Cincinnati Home + Garden Show is the opportunity to meet companies face-to-face and have a conversation,” she says. You can see if you are a good fit to work together on your home project!”

It’s also a good idea to take notes, with old-fashioned pen and paper or use your phone to take photos of vendor information. That way, you can reach out after the show to ask more questions or get a quote.

Fuel Up

It’s a BIG show, so you’ll need a plan. Before you go to DECC, stop at Deeper Roots Coffee (338 W. Fourth St.) to make sure you are properly caffeinated. A little nosh is also a good idea.

Need to take a break? Enjoy lunch at Maplewood (525 Race St.) or Americano Burger Bar (545 RaceSt. ) are both a quick walk away so you can get back to decision-making.

Outdoor entertaining has expanded a lot in the past couple of years. During the pandemic, people’s expectations about patio spaces are much higher, so your beloved chiminea isn’t going to cut it anymore.

“Be sure to stop by the Semco Outdoor garden display – they’ll be featuring Glow-Path glow-in-the dark pavers!,” says Stahlmann. “(Those are) sure to impress any guest and are a must for outdoor entertaining on the patio.”

Has your garden had a tough winter?

“Be sure to stop by our other five amazing local landscapers to get even more of the latest landscaping and hardscaping tips and trends!” Stahlmann says.
