With the blossoms of spring comes home and garden show season. And this weekend through next (March 13 through 22) are two Bay Area biggies.
Start with the San Jose Home Show at the McEnery Convention Center this weekend. If you’re starting a renovation project or just looking for inspiration, the home show is the place to meet contractors, landscapers, architects and interior designers. Displays of kitchens, baths, windows, doors, appliances, furnishings, spas and fireplaces will help you hone your ideas.
Beginning Wednesday, March 18 through the 22, the San Mateo Events Center will transform into the San Francisco Flower & Garden Show. Hundreds of landscape vignettes will be set up — atop tons of sawdust and mulch — to showcase everything from waterfall displays to container gardening.
The California Horticulture Society will highlight the newest plants and seminars abound about everything from sustainable gardening to patio planning. Childcare is offered!

That wisteria! We “inherited” a mature one with the home we bought last year and I was so sad when it didn’t bloom. According to my neighbor, she hasn’t seen it bloom in the 15 years she’s lived there. Sigh.
