From small updates to larger remodels, the show makes it easy to compare options and speak directly with professionals familiar with North Texas homes.
Outdoor living is also a major focus, with inspiration for patios, pergolas, fencing, landscaping, outdoor kitchens, artificial turf, lighting, sheds, and greenhouses. Garden enthusiasts can browse tree, plant, and fertilizer sales while gathering ideas to refresh their outdoor spaces for spring.
Expert Gardening Advice from Local and Texas Authorities
A standout feature of the Collin County Home and Garden Show is its strong emphasis on gardening education. Attendees can connect with Master Gardeners throughout the weekend for practical advice on planting, maintenance, and creating thriving gardens in North Texas conditions.
The show also welcomes Howard Garrett, “The Dirt Doctor,” who will host seminars on natural organic gardening and trees. Known across Texas for his expertise and approachable teaching style, Howard Garrett offers valuable insights for anyone looking to build healthier landscapes and gardens using natural methods.
In addition, attendees can take advantage of “Ask the Expert” opportunities, where gardening questions can be answered one-on-one by knowledgeable professionals right on the show floor.
Hands-On Classes and Interactive Experiences
Beyond seminars, the show offers hands-on experiences that encourage creativity and learning. Attendees can sign up in advance for the Plant & Sip Terrarium Make & Take, led by Gisella Kaendler, where participants design and take home their own botanical creation. Space is limited, so advance registration is recommended.
Families can also register ahead of time for FREE CookLearnGrow kids cooking classes, where young chefs learn basic culinary skills while creating fun spring fruit roll-ups in a welcoming, hands-on setting.
