If  building it yourself is your thing,
there will be experts to answer your
questions as well as telling or showing
you how to do it yourself. HOWEVER, IF YOU
SAY, "NO WAY DO WE HAVE THE TIME
OR ENERGY TO DO IT OURSELVES,
THIS IS THE PLACE TO MEET
DOZENS OF PEOPLE WHO CAN
DO IT FOR YOU
...AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO COMPARE
PRICES IN A SHOW TIMEFRAME.

 Finally, if it is just a bit
of spring you are seeking
to push back the winter
blahs, or if you love the
beauty of spring, the
Wichita Garden Show
is the place for you.

Acclaimed Indoor Gardens

  "The 3/4 million dollar pride and joy of the Wichita Garden Show"

Five Great Gardens total over 20,000 square feet. The Gardens  are nationally recognized for excellence and are valued at  $3/4 million dollars.

  • "One of top ten in USA", 1995, House Beautiful Magazine;
  • "One of the top 200 trade shows, out of 38,000 in USA, National
    Alliance Magazine, 1997
  • Premier show for Home/Garden (HG) TV's Designer's Landscape, Gary Alan, 1998.

    Look closely --
    There's something just for you
    The gardens are grand. While you may not need a 20 foot-tall waterfall or
    one you can walk under or a geyser in your yard, in each garden there are
    hundreds of ideas on landscaping, new and unusual types of blooms and
    trees or features that will add charm to your garden and yard. Just what you have been looking for to make your GARDEN OF DREAMS COME TRUE.

    BE SURE TO BRING YOUR CAMERA AND A NOTE PAD -- Take photos of
    products and landscaping ideas for your reference when planning your garden/yard later at home. A note pad is a must if you are shopping prices, recording ideas, making sketches and keeping track of answers to those gardening questions.
