Minneapolis Area Home & Garden Shows
Whether you own a home or are dreaming of finding the ideal Minnesota home, a wintertime home and garden show is always a welcome invitation to remind us of spring. If you have tired of the same old four walls, a home show can provide inspiration and energy to transform your living space. Our REALTORS® are here with three Minneapolis-area home and garden shows to help you shake off the winter blues. 

  1. St. Paul Home and Landscape Show, Saint Paul River Centre, Saint Paul
    The St. Paul Home and Landscape Show runs February 15 through 17, offers four backyard getaway scenes by four different landscapers, guest speaker John Gidding of "Trading Spaces," make-it and take-it workshops, and more. Buy tickets online to shave $2 off admission, and be sure to check out the "Trade Secrets" presentation full of expert advice on plumbing, roofing, tiling, and landscaping.
