Every February, as the snow and bitter cold winter does a number on DC, many Washingtonians are left dreaming of warmer, spring-like weather on its way. With the change of season, comes the promise of spring design projects and maybe even some home improvement. What better way to kick off the spring than to get some inspiration from the experts? Coming up this weekend, Friday, Feb. 27, 2015 – Sunday, March 1, 2015 you can get inspired at the annual Capital Remodel & Garden Show at the Dulles Expo Center.

Headlining the show is HGTV personality Jeff Devlin, who is the host of “I Hate My Bath” plus a mentor on HGTV’s newly launched Ellen’s Design Challenge with Ellen Degeneres. Also, DIY Network’s Yard Crashers and Going Yard host Chris Lambton — who you may also remember as a contestant on The Bachelorette season 6 — will be at the show to share tips for landscaping, hardscaping, garden planning and maintenance of outdoor living spaces. You’ll also get to meet local experts like WTOP “Gardening Plot” expert Mike McGrath, who also is the host of the nationally syndicated Public Radio show “You Bet Your Garden,” plus Kathy Jentz, editor and publisher of Washington Gardener Magazine.

There will be 375+ companies in the exhibitor hall, showcasing the latest products and services in remodeling, home improvement, gardening, landscaping, design and décor.

You’ll also get the chance to check out the “Dream Gardens” which is a fan favorite, and consists of more than 3,000 square-feet of lush, landscaped gardens, including five landscapers who are using water features, gardening accessories, greenery and flowers. It’s sure to give you some inspiration for your own garden and yard!
