Do you have cabin fever or the winter blues and you can’t wait for spring? Just in time to cure those blues, comes the 2009 Home and Garden Seminar and Show Feb. 14 at the Pine Bluff Convention Center.
“The show will feature interesting displays and talks by experts in several fields,” said Don Plunkett, Jefferson County extension staff chair for the University of Arkansas Division of Agriculture.
The 21st annual show, which is free, opens to the public at 8 a.m. and ends at 4:30 p.m. It’s sponsored by the Cooperative Extension Service, Master Gardeners and the Pine Bluff/Jefferson County Clean and Beautiful Commission.
Plunkett said the show attracted more than 1,500 people last year.
Below are the seminars, starting times and speakers:
· Herbs You’re Going to Love, 9 a.m., Debbie Tripp
· Color and Design in Lighting Outside, 10:15 a.m., Diane Crowder
· Must-have Plants for the Garden, 11:15 a.m., Janet Carson

Plunkett said the show is seeking additional sponsorship for the event. The seminars will be in the Banquet Room, near the Registration area. Door prizes will be awarded.
