We had a fun family night for the month of March–we went to the Pittsburgh Home and Garden Show and it did not disappoint! My parents even met up with us to join in on the fun.

It’s typically a really busy event at the convention center downtown, so we chose to go on a Monday night to avoid the weekend crowds. It has over 1,500 exhibits spread out over ten acres for all things home and garden along with food and pet items, too. 

We looked at sheds, hot tubs, swing sets, doors, garden supplies, flowers, snagged some baked goods, and had an overall amazing evening.

We last attended the Home and Garden Show in 2019 (Sadie was a baby!), and I was pleasantly surprised by how kid-friendly the event was.

Children were allowed to play on the playground equipment, swings, and trampolines for sale and there was a “kid zone” with a Lego display, trains, and an area with crafts and toys.

There was even a nursing station with a rocking chair and baby supplies. Yay for not feeding my baby in the bathroom or in the middle of a crowd 😂

There was definitely something for everyone. Jimmy and my mom loved looking at handmade Turkish lamps, I got to pet some dogs, my mom and I shared some cookies, Sadie played, and my dad (jokingly) almost dipped Mordecai in a couple of hot tubs.

I think all the fun wore Sadie out because she fell asleep in my dad’s arms at the end of the night. He laid her on a display of beds and everyone who walked past was cracking up at the little girl sleeping on the display. I guess she was good advertising?!

Yes, it was a good night indeed! I can’t wait for next month’s family night. We haven’t decided what we’ll do, so if you have any ideas, send them my way!

Have you ever been to a home and garden show?
