Those twists include tiny homes, tractors and fairy gar- dens. “This could be the best show we’ve ever had,” said promoter Jon Thompson. That’s because outside a dis- play by Tiny SMART Homes of Albany will show off the finer points of living small. Alongside the tiny homes will be the nearly 100 percent recy- cled greenhouse from window purveyor Mark and Company, and a wide selection of lawn and garden tractors from Mid Valley Tractor. Tiny homes can range in size from just under 100 square feet to a palatial 350 square feet, and the models produced by SMART also include sustain- able and eco-friendly features without having to give up com- fort. Marcelle Fisher, with Forbes Magazine, said “compact- home living can still be just grand,” adding they can be “simple, more affordable and ecologically friendly.” Mark Seery of Mark and Company will have a display of affordable and energy reduc- ing windows inside, but outside will be what he likes to call “garden art”. Seery and his crew began assembling wood and glass greenhouses from old windows they were taking out of homes and businesses. The greenhous- es are functional, but also extremely attractive.
