If there’s ever a region of the country in need of a garden show in January, it’s northeast Ohio! Fortunately, Road Trips Gardeners, the Cleveland Home and Garden Show happens January 21-30, 2011, in the Great Lakes Expo Center, 1200 Babbitt Road, Euclid, Ohio.

“Beautiful Canada” is the theme for this year’s show, the 68th edition. Nine Canadian-themed gardens designed by professional landscapers from across Northeast Ohio will serve as entries for the Ohio Landscape Association Celebrity Garden Competition. Plus, a writer?s retreat inside a larger-than-life tree house celebrates Canadian author Lucy Maud Montogomery and her bestselling novel Anne of Green Gables.

The ten-day event ends with a plant sale from 7-8 p.m. January 30, 2011. Details on all the seminars, exhibitors and other highlights are online.
