Need a little Spring this weekend?

    With the snow showers the past couple of days it seems as if Winter is never going to let go of our weather. This weekend and next at the Maryland Fairgrounds the Maryland Home and Gardens show is a great way to move the calendar ahead a couple of months.  

I received the following information from the Home and Garden Show:

"Maryland Home & Garden Show Brings Color to Your World March 1-2 and 7-9, 2014

While Marylanders may have the winter blues from the weather outside, inside the Cow Palace at the Maryland State Fairgrounds it’s a world of color! Spring will be in full bloom at the upcoming Maryland Home & Garden Show, March 1-2 and 7-9.

Bring some color home with you.

        After a long winter, the Maryland Home & Garden Show makes it easy to bring a little color back into your life by shopping for beautiful plants, cut flowers and one-of-a-kind crafts for the home. During the second weekend of the Show, the Maryland Orchid Society and Baltimore Bonsai Club will display thousands of vivid flowers and miniature gardens for visitors to peruse and purchase. Both weekends, The Maryland Spring Craft Show will feature more than 125 craftspeople selling their unique, handmade creations that can add color to the home or garden.
