HOME & GARDEN

B.C. Home and Garden
Show now says it all!

EVERYONE KNOWS that
the outside of a heme
deserves as much attention
as the inside and so, at the
1992 B.C. Spring Home and
Garden Show, gardening
will finally receive its due.

Gardening has always played an
important role in the Spring
Home Show. However, this year’s
show takes it one step further.
With the addition of “garden”’ to
the name, the 1992 B.C. Home
and Garden Show now says it all!

B.C. Place Stadium will
definitely be the place to be from
Feb. 14 through 23, to get ideas
and learn techniques for making
yours the best lawn and garden on
the block.

The extensive involvement of
the B.C. Nursery Trades Associa-
tion (BCNTA) in the 1992 show
promises to be both inspiring and
informative.

The BCNTA is currently finaliz-
ing plans for a stroll garden that
will occupy approximately 1,800
square feet of feature area at B.C.
Place Stadium. The garden will be
designed to provide mini-views of
some of the latest, ‘‘hot'’? new
trends in gardening, such as water
gardening, container gardening
and Japanese gardening.

Visitors will be able to obtain
helpful ideas for their own green
space and benefit from the
presence cf association members

who will be demonstrating a
variety of gardening techniques.
Experts will also be available to
visitors to answer any questions
about the display or about their
own gardens at home.

The BCNTA is also providing
the landscaping surrounding the
1992 Dream Home. Complemen-
ling the contemporary, airy design
of the home, the landscaping will
feature low-maintenance shrubs
and flowers that will provide a
variety of textures and cofors
throughout the year.

Another new feature of the
1992 Spring Home and Garden
Show will be the Landscape
Theatre. A variety of lawn and
garden professionals, considered
by many to be experts in their
fields, will be featured, sharing
their knowledge on everything
from garden lighting to fence-
building. Here, visitors will be
able to learn all about West Coast
gardening and lawn care, firsi
hand, while relaxing in a com-
fortable garden setting.

The green space won’t be end-
ing there. In addition to the
special feature areas, there will be
countless exhibitors, with expertise
in a variety of garden, lawn and
landscaping disciplines, who will
be happy to help with any other
questions or queries showgoers
may have,
