Blooming Business: McAllen’s Home and Garden Show Embraces Plant Power
The McAllen Convention Center is gearing up for a verdant weekend as the Home and Garden Show takes root from Friday, the 22nd, to Sunday, the 24th. This year’s event is placing a special emphasis on plants, with a segment called “The Big Bloom” promising an unprecedented array of flora and vendors.
Ashley Gregory, a Master Gardener and key figure in local agricultural extension, shared her excitement about the show’s focus on greenery. “We’re really excited just to be a part of that,” she said, highlighting the importance of plants in home and garden settings.
Becoming a Master Gardener is no small feat, as Gregory explained. It requires 100 hours of training, including 50 hours of class instruction and 50 hours of hands-on volunteer service. The title of Texas Master Gardener is a badge of honor that signifies a deep commitment to community and horticulture.
This year marks a new chapter for the Home and Garden Show with the introduction of The Big Bloom. While it’s the first year for this particular feature, the show has been a staple event for at least five years, according to Gregory. The Big Bloom aims to showcase local nurseries and plant vendors, providing the public with a one-stop shop for all their gardening needs.
Springtime in McAllen offers a perfect backdrop for the event, as the warmer climate allows for a more extended planting season compared to other regions. Gregory noted that the subtropical conditions of the area provide ample opportunities for gardening enthusiasts to plant almost year-round.
Visitors to the Home and Garden Show can look forward to not only purchasing plants but also gaining valuable insights from experienced gardeners like Gregory. She emphasized the importance of seeking expert advice to ensure successful gardening endeavors.
The Home and Garden Show is more than just a marketplace; it’s a celebration of the vibrant gardening community in McAllen and a testament to the beauty and diversity of plant life. Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or a budding enthusiast, this event promises to inspire and delight all who attend.
