Landscape designers get a jump on spring at Home & Garden Show
The smartest birds in Oklahoma City know where it’s always a balmy spring day, even when every birdbath in town is frozen hockey-rink solid and temps have just barely returned to double digits.

Show highlights
The Oklahoma City Home & Garden Show is at State Fair Park through Sunday. Features and special attractions include:
• Celebrity designer Summer Baltzer of HGTV’s "Design on a Dime” and TLC’s new show "Unhinged” travels the country helping people work with what they have and teaching them how to add, revamp and revitalize to create stylish, low-cost interiors that reflect their personality. Her presentations will show expo goers how to transform dull living space on a budget that works for each individual.
• Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity will benefit from bids on doors decorated by local artists and celebrities. The "Doors to a Brighter Future” fundraiser transforms doors into pieces of artwork that can be displayed on walls or used as room dividers. All proceeds from a silent auction go to Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity.
• Green Product Showcase features local experts demonstrating how to turn a home into an energy-efficient and environmentally friendly place to live with the latest green products and services.
• With spring around the corner, the show features landscape inspirations that will have attendees pulling out their gardening tools. TLC Florist & Greenhouses created an eye-catching landscape bursting with colorful foliage and flower combinations in its display, "Put Some Wow in Your Backyard.” Plus, Absolute Lawn Care designed a variety of waterfalls to provide inspiration for different styles, space considerations and budgets.
• "Junk Master” Sue Whitney will encourage people to repurpose flea market finds and unused "junk” into home furnishings. Whitney, co-author of "Junk Beautiful,” has been on NBC’s "Today Show” and HGTV’s "Country Style,” where she transforms junk into furniture and home decor.
• More than 400 local and national exhibitors of lawn-and-garden and home goods and services.
