OUTDOOR SHOW 2014… going on now!

After a long, hard winter, our 20th annual Outdoor Show offers a warm and colorful welcome to spring! That’s right, with one store and two big (heated) tents… this year’s show is sure to kick off the spring season with a bang. You’ll see an array of local plants rich in color, fragrance and texture while enjoying home & garden exhibits by various local businesses featuring sensational display gardens and other ideas to brighten your home, indoors and out!

From the latest in edible gardening to stylish decor and even terrariums, the show will provide a preview of the hottest gardening trends for 2014. March in to spring with us at Outdoor 2014! The Show will offer everything you need to help people in Hampton Roads get the lawn and garden off to great start. The 20th Annual Outdoor Show 2014 is free and open-to-the-public. The event will be held rain or shine from 9am to 6pm Friday through Sunday, March 7, 8 and 9 at McDonald Garden Center’s Hampton, Virginia location at 1139 W. Pembroke Ave.

Come see us this weekend, March 7-9 at our 20th annual OUTDOOR SHOW >>

Associate helped me pick the right planter, fertilized him, and topped with decorative rocks. All for an incredibly reasonable price and caring smiles.
