Audiences will learn how to grow amazing tomatoes and discover the art of growing vegetables in containers and small spaces, as Craig shares tips and techniques from his books Epic Tomatoes and Growing Vegetables in Straw Bales.

The New Construction Zone is the place to go to find dream homes, whether you are looking to build or buy. There will be builders for large, small and custom homes, from the mid-100s to 2 million or more, and information about subdivisions from all over the St. Louis metro area. Show visitors can also see two tiny homes, one built by students from the Carpenters Joint Apprenticeship Program and another built for the Veterans Community Project.

Visitors can tour two special areas to discover products to enhance their lives and homes. The Top 10 Life-Changing Products display, from Boyce Thompson, is an interactive exhibit where people can test-drive new launches and exciting prototypes. There will be a revolutionary smart home system that works through one switch; a smart mailbox that protects from porch pirates; a modular light system that dances to music; a surveillance drone prototype; and several remarkable robots, including an adorable dog and a personal robot who knows who you are, and more! The New Product Showcase will feature the newest home products from Show exhibitors.

The Home & Garden Show is always a fun destination for the whole family. Mid America Chevy Dealers presents Dock Diving Dog Shows by No Leash Needed. These talented performance dogs will make a splash diving into the pool, flying for Frisbees and showing off their best tricks and obedience. The St. Louis County Parks Children's Garden Club, presented by American Family Insurance, once again offers a variety of free activities for kids. They will enjoy fun, hands-on projects they can make at the Show and take home.

Area homeowners won't want to plan or remodel their kitchen or bath until they visit the Kitchen & Bath Showcase to see the newest styles and design ideas in cabinetry, appliances, lighting, plumbing fixtures and countertops. Shop a wide variety of pools, spas and swim spas in the Pool & Spa Showcase.
