Pool & Patio Show; Pool, Spa & Hot Tub Expo; Home & Garden Show; Flower & Garden Show. Call them what you like, in any combination -- they all have a few things in common. Pool, home and garden events focus on residential outdoor living spaces, feature numerous exhibitors, guest speakers, and many attendees. Most of the shows occur February-October.
While tours and smaller shows are held by garden clubs and local chapters of gardening and horticulture groups, home, pool, and patio shows are at large venues. Many are product-heavy, but often schedule seminars on topics like green living and small-space design.
