Two other great shows this month in Portland:
The Home and Garden Show, Feb. 24-28 at the Expo Center. This show features
home improvements, remodeling, and gardens/landscaping, including several
(30?) life-sized gardens.

The Yard, Garden, and Patio Show is Feb. 26-28 at the Portland Convention
Center. This is my favorite show-- it's primarily about gardening and the
outdoor life.
(Can't find a website.)
If I had to pick between the two, the Yard-Garden-Patio is the one I'd go
to. It's much more fun, "down-home", lots of happy gardeners. the
Home-Garden is fun, too, but has a much more commercial emphasis, complete
with salespeople trying to sell you siding, storm windows, etc.
Actually, I can't believe they put them on the same weekend!
