The Great Big Home and Garden Show gives Clevelanders a taste of spring

Put on your walking shoes and escape the frigid winds outside as you tour the expanse of twelve beautifully themed gardens. This year’s theme is music and you will be amazed at the clever tie ins that the designers have come up with.
Next, tour the 2,100 square foot cabin by Weaver Barns. This 3 bedroom, 2 ½ baths comes complete with a sizable kitchen and great room. Also on display are the garage, pavilion, outdoor kitchen as well as the attached large porch and deck area. Another show magnet is the Xtend Technologies Hi-Tech Luxury Lower Level Living Space that features 1,500 square feet of cutting edge ideas sponsored by Sherwin-Williams, Cleveland Magazine and Ohio Magazine. Lastly, take a look at the Tiny Homes built by Small Spaces CLE and discover why tiny homes are the new trend in home design with their 200 square feet of carefully thought out space.
Take a break from the walking and head over to the Main Stage or Cooking Stage for talks concerning the latest in home and garden tips by nationally recognized home improvement celebrities and local experts as well as exciting culinary demonstrations by area chefs. Nest, check out the newest rage in camping called “Glamping” sponsored by Cabelas.
