StumbleUponHome and Garden Show
Annually on the first weekend in March, the Big Fresno Fair grounds is home to the Fresno Home and Garden Show. The Fresno Fair grounds are located at 1121 S. Chance Ave, Fresno between Kings Canyon Road and Butler Avenue. This three day event offers lots of vendors, displays and mini seminars on home and gardening topics, a very informative venue. Home and Garden show promoters charge admission to the show.
The Master Gardeners present free gardening seminars each day of the event. Just prior to the show, watch for a schedule of topics to be presented in the Fresno Home Show section of the Fresno Bee.
Stop by and visit our Master Gardeners for information about the program as well as Master Gardeners on duty to answer your gardening questions.
