Stark County Home & Garden Show opens today
By Michael Gruber, President Building Industry Association of Stark & East Central Ohio
The Stark County Home & Garden Show has been putting local homeowners in the mood for spring for over 70 years. Today we open our 2021 show, at noon, at the fairgrounds. The beautiful weather this week has us reviewing our “honey-do” lists and putting us in the mood to get out of the house and enjoy the fresh air. It also turns our thoughts to improvements to our homes – both inside and out.
No matter the age or condition of the interior or exterior of your property, the show provides something unique, affordable and practical to everyone who attends.
Although Ohio weather can be pretty unpredictable, there s no doubt subtle signs of spring are already in the air.
The coming days will offer warmer temperatures, along with sunshine and showers. The backyard birds are chirping and upbeat. And even you may be feeling a little lighter as the seasons begin to shift, craving some time in nature and pops of color around your home. This is the time of the year where you get excited, but not too excited, about gardening, joked Jason Veil, curator at the Secrest Arboretum in Wooster.
As spring slowly starts to creep its way in, there are simple, proactive steps to take now to get your garden ready to thrive, local experts and long-time gardeners say.
