mosha Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Every year we attend the Home and Garden Show at the IX Center in Cleveland near Hopkins Airport. If you have never been there, you will be amazed. Fully 22 acres of the 30 acre IX Center is devoted to this show which runs from Feb. 7 to Feb. 15. This year the theme is the gardens of France, and there will be numerous gardens with trees, water etc. We normally eat at the catered area beyond the gardens expo as they feature reasonably-priced foods in the French tradition (this year). Lots of other food and drink outlets inside (beer, liquor avbl). Some houses to walk through and lots of space devoted to outside structures, equipment, etc. ...also entertainment at designated hours. Many towns in western Pa have daily bus trips but probably not from central PA. There is a limited amount of direct sales of plant supplies from major seed companies , although Petitti always has an extensive display of multiple seed vendors, including Thompson and Morgan. My wife like the Lora Paganini food cooking seminars. We always find this to be a real winter-buster, and if you are so inclined, a large ferris wheel can transport you above the crowd and through the roof with a view of the airport and the city in the distance. Nothing quite like this anywhere in PA. All the information is available at www.homeandflower.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
