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.
