Visitors to the 2003 National City Cleveland Home and Garden Show, Presented by GMC, can become a part of the Ohio Bicentennial Celebration kick-off. As this year's Show pays tribute to 200 years of accomplishments, rich history & culture throughout Ohio.

"Red, White & Blooming" is celebrating the history of fascinating events and people that helped to create the Ohio of today. Show visitors can view 20 indoor acres featuring spectacular gardens, full-size homes, "how to" demonstrations, children's activities, music, food and fun.

A focal point of the 2003 show is the Entry Feature Garden, which sets the stage for the Show's overall theme. DTR Associates of Chagrin Falls, OH, is designing and constructing the Show's Entry Feature Garden for the fourth consecutive year.

DTR Associates are not strangers to Show visitors. In prior years they have created the breath taking Entry Feature Garden paying tribute to countries such as Greece, Germany and Mexico. DTR Associates has been the recipient of the prestigious Plain Dealer Cup for four consecutive years, (1996-1999) as part of the competitive gardens.

After the Entry Feature Garden starts to awaken the spirit of spring fever, visitors can continue to bask in the ever-popular Celebrity Garden Competition Area. This competition features more than 20 of Northeast Ohio's premier landscapers, working in conjunction with local television, radio and print celebrities. Landscapers will construct exquisite gardens showcasing each company's unique talents. Visitors can saunter through these colorful and aroma filled gardens, to discover styles and ideas to fit their own gardens and lifestyles.
