When it's April in Knoxville, it's time for the annual springtime ode to arts and flowers called the Dogwood Arts Festival.
Since it's February in Knoxville, it's time to think spring, gardening and home improvement at the annual Dogwood Arts' House & Garden Show.
The 2011 show is Friday-Sunday, Feb. 11-13, at the Knoxville Convention Center, 701 Henley St. Hours are 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Feb. 11-12, 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Feb. 13. Admission is $10 for adults, $8 for senior citizens over 65, and $5 for young people ages 6-12. Children under 5 get in free. Proceeds from the show benefit Dogwood.
The show focuses on home and garden products and services. More than 200 commercial exhibitors will be set up showing items to create, refurbish or change areas in and outside the home. Two markets will sell flowers. Designers will create "roomscapes," houselike spaces inside the convention center.
New at this year's show is a "Green Living Pavilion" that focuses on energy efficiency and conservation. Booths in the area will feature "green" products, technologies and services.
A new cooking school will offer demonstrations by Chef Joseph Lowery of the Halls-based food company Avanti Savoia.
An annual highlight of the House & Garden Show is the gardens created inside the convention center by East Tennessee landscape designers. This year's 12 gardens will cover more than 10,000 square feet and include a new, pet-friendly plot.
Workshops and discussions during the show's three days focus on such topics as home improvement, remodeling, energy efficiency and organic gardening. Presenters of the workshops include HGTV designer Taniya Navak, whose work includes hosting HGTV's "Destination Design." Other workshop topics include flower arranging, recycling and real estate.
