As the days grow longer and the weekends a little warmer (with that last cold spell finally behind us!), it can only mean one thing: spring project season for your home and garden is on the horizon.
Here to guide the way are Vancouver Island's spring home shows, kicking off with an exceptional line-up at Victoria's Pearkes Recreation Centre Feb. 21 to 23.
"Looking at the list of exhibitors, this has to be the best line-up we've had for years," says Darcy Hope, president of Evergreen Exhibitions, the host of this spring's shows launching in Victoria, followed by Port Alberni and Nanaimo in March, Comox Valley in April and Cowichan Valley, Parksville and Campbell River in May.
Everything for home and garden, under one roof
From kitchen and bath renovations to windows and roofing to everything for your deck, patio and backyard, the spring home show brings them all together in one place. Interested in the possibilities of solar energy or electric vehicle charging, or about the rebates for energy-saving installations like heat pumps? You'll find all that and more!
"This really is a one-stop shop – a place where you can ask questions of the local experts, all in one convenient location, and be inspired by the possibilities for your home," Hope says.
Beyond saving you time – and who couldn't use more of that?! – the home show can also save you money.
"In addition to in-booth giveaways, many of the exhibitors have specials only available to the home show attendees – you won't find these savings anywhere else," Hope notes.
Need more reasons to make your home show a must-visit this spring? You'll be in the running for a $1,500 gift card to the home centre of your choosing, and as always, admission and parking are free!
