Home Show Seminars Offer Expert Advice On A Wide Range Of Homeowner Topics

By Wayne Moore
2011 HBA President

A full lineup of free educational seminars will be a part of the 50th annual Southern Home & Garden Show, giving attendees the opportunity to learn more about a wide range of topics. Consumer education is an important part of our mission at the Home Builders Association of Greenville and the Southern Home & Garden Show is the perfect forum to offer homeowners and potential homeowners expert advice on kitchen and bath design, interior design, green building and remodeling, gardens and ponds, and a lot more.

For example, the seminar schedule includes a panel discussion on Trends in the Kitchen & Bath Industry featuring members of the National Kitchen & Bath Association. NKBA professionals will cover cabinets, countertops, appliances, interior color trends, construction, installation and organization tips, as well as Aging-in-Place and accessibility issues.
