Homestead Gardens will present their annual spring garden show entitled, “Mediterranean Retreat” March 12 – 20, 2011 at their Davidsonville location. Immerse yourself in the classic elements of the Mediterranean garden as it has been cultivated for centuries in France, Italy and Greece. Fragrant herbs are seamlessly blended with bright, brilliant flowers and accented by statuary and bubbling fountains to create a tranquil retreat that appeals to all the senses. Patios and trellises provide cool refuge from the intense sun and, when accented by vegetables and citrus trees in traditional pottery, becomes a space that is an extension of your home for entertaining.

Homestead Gardens’ annual Garden show will feature free seminars and demonstrations from industry experts. Special guest Andre Viette will be broadcasting his nationwide call-in radio show “In the Garden” live from Homestead Gardens from 8am to 11am on Saturday, March 12 followed by a free lecture at 1pm when he will reveal his top tips for a beautiful garden.
