Garden & Outdoor Features:

Attendees found inspiration for their outdoor space by exploring large garden displays and outdoor exhibitors, with a stroll through inspirational gardens showcasing new gardening techniques and ideas.
Container Creation
Reduce. Reuse. Recycle. From functional to fantastic, these shipping containers turned recycled rooms inspired us to think about our space. These rooms created by Recon Recycled Shipping Containers are more than an eco-friendly space, they are recycled luxury.

Harrisburg’s Homegrown Market
This unique shopping opportunity was the place for one-of-a-kind home décor and gifts. This open market-style area featured local artisans and retailers. Visitors could shop antiques, homemade, finely-crafted items and original art.
Pop-Up Flower Market
Guests were able to shop a local area favorite in our pop-up floral market by Hydrangea Haus and take home beautiful, fresh-cut floral bouquets and arrangements made while they shopped. Hydrangea Haus also had gift items and home décor available for purchase!
The Barking Lot + Doggy Fashion Show
Come. Stay. Shop for a good cause. Of course our visitors didn't forget their dogs and cats while shopping at the show - you couldn't go home to your furry friend without a new toy, treat, or accessory! So they stopped by The Barking Lot, our pet market, to spoil their four-legged family member and support the Canine Rescue of Central, PA. All vendors donated a portion of proceeds back to the Canine Rescue of Central PA to support their mission to protect and improve the quality of life of homeless animals.
We also had a doggy fashion show on Saturday!
