Are you looking to improve your home or garden?
Now, on the heels of spring, might be a good time to get motivated.
After all, it’s show season, that wonderful time of year when local businesses gather at convention centers to share their newest and best ideas for making your home and garden functional, stylish, beautiful and maybe even eco-friendly.
Here’s a look at three of the biggest shows in the region that are featuring — and catering to — Snohomish County folks.

Dedicated entirely to gardening, it features two dozen large display gardens, 120 seminars, a plant and product marketplace and activities for kids.
Hours are 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., except on Feb. 27, when the show closes 6 p.m. See my story and photos from today’s paper about what’s new for this year’s show!
