maintenance and native plant selections will
give homeowners great ideas on enhancing
their yards to add color, texture and wildlife
habitat. Laurel Bay Gardens also will feature a
new line of certifi ed organic compost and soils,
colorful outdoor pottery, statuary and water
features.
Gib’s RV, featuring homes on wheels, will
join Cedar Works Spas outside the Florence
Events Center. “The addition of Gib’s RV,
our home-on-wheels vendor, and the many
new vendor products and services along with
returning show favorites make this year’s show
interesting and unique,” says Thompson.

to 6 p.m.; Saturday, March 7, from 10 a.m. to

The 19th Annual Florence Home and
Garden Show, set for March 6 through 8,
quickly fi lled all its available vendor space,
according to organizers.
“We were full by the end of January,” says
show director Jon Thompson. “We always get
some turnover and that’s good for everyone as
it keeps the show fresh and interesting. Vendors
that participate in many other shows in the
Northwest are a great source of referrals. We’ve
been told numerous times that our show is one
of the best — even in comparison to much
larger venues.”
Thompson said local businesses are the
highest priority, but bringing in out-of-area
vendors with products and services that cannot
be found in the Florence area is also critical to
its success.
Custom wood products, kitchenware, hot
tubs, spas, skylights and dozens of vendors
featuring products and services for both the
home and garden will pack the Florence Events
Center, 715 Quince St.
