96th Annual REALTORS® Home & Garden Show returns March 25 – April 3 to Wisconsin State Fair Park

MILWAUKEE (March 17, 2022) – The nation’s longest-running home and garden show, the REALTORS^® Home & Garden Show presented by Unilock, returns to Wisconsin State Fair Park, March 25 – April 3, 2022 (closed Monday and Tuesday). Inspiring attendees to refresh their “Gnome Sweet Home” and outdoor living areas, the show will highlight the latest tips and trends in home improvements, landscaping and gardening.

Offering attendees a first taste of spring is the return of the show’s popular Garden Promenade, featuring oases designed by the area’s top landscapers and a 2,500-square-foot, gnome-themed water garden by Aquatica. Bringing creature comforts to the outdoors, the Garden Promenade will boast outdoor living solutions by Badgerland Lawn & Landscaping, Breckenridge Landscape, Breezy Hill Nursery, Excel Custom Contractors, Exteriors Unlimited Landscape Contractors, Extreme Exteriors, and Loomis Pools & Landscaping. Also highlighted in the Garden Promenade will be a new garden railway display by the Wisconsin Garden Railway Association and a solar-paneled garden pergola by Project Green Energy. Show-goers will be encouraged to cast their vote for their favorite landscape display for a chance to win a $250, $500 or $750 VISA gift card.

Another crowd favorite is the show’s seminars where daily, expert-led presentations will cover topics ranging from new plant varieties and landscape lighting to top trends in home remodeling projects. Seminars will be held at the Minor’s Garden Center Solutions Stage. Beyond the lively Q&A, guests can also chat one-on-one with industry professionals at their exhibit booths. The REALTORS^® Home & Garden Show features over 350 booths specializing in landscaping, remodeling, real estate, gardening, roofing and siding, windows and doors, decking and patios, cabinets and flooring, plumbing, heating and cooling, interior decorating and more. For guests interested in smaller upgrades, garden tools, lawn accents, outdoor furniture, and more are available for purchase at the show’s Garden Market.

“Over the last two years, people have had a lot of time to think about their indoor and outdoor spaces,” said Amanda Falk, show director of the REALTORS^® Home & Garden Show. “Whether it was creating pseudo home offices, classrooms or backyard respites, the pandemic forced us to reimagine our spaces. This year’s show will provide guests an opportunity to expand upon those quick fixes with more long-term solutions that deliver flexibility and functionality. We’re looking forward to welcoming attendees back and, once again, be the go-to resource for their project needs.”

New to this year’s show is an impressive two-story, 1,800-square-foot booth designed by Step Beyond Green to Healthy. As a member-based nonprofit organization that advocates and educates on healthier indoor environments, Step Beyond Green to Healthy assists homeowners in creating and maintaining healthier homes, particularly as it pertains to indoor air quality. Step Beyond Green to Healthy’s expanded feature area will highlight its professional contractor members and the latest in healthy products, including live seminars from industry professionals.
