The Arkansas Flower and Garden Show is this weekend at the Statehouse Convention Center in downtown Little Rock. Its 10-6 on Friday and Saturday and Sunday 10-4.

The Flower and Garden show is a great place to see landscapers, garden decorations and learn about plants.  They have lectures (see the schedule)  and some of Arkansas top landscapers will be there.  Chris Olsen of Botanica Gardens will giving a lecture on the Five Seasons of Gardening.

Admission to the show is $8.  I have some photos from last year.

The Home Show is also this weekend.  Its at Verizon Arena in North Little Rock.   The show allows you to meet all sorts of builders and material suppliers.  You can check out their vendor list.  Admission to the Home Show is also $8.

If you visit both, save your Home Show ticket stub and receive $1.00 off at the Flower and Garden Show.

We may not be New Orleans, but we have our style of celebration in Little Rock.  I have a list of Mardi Gras parties, celebrations and parades happening in the city.

There are a few fun things for kids and families, and even a parade your dog can enjoy.  We also have pub crawls and live music that are not family friendly.  I was just thinking the other day that I couldnt want for great deck weather to visit Cajuns Wharf.  I guess Fat Tuesday is a good excuse too.

Some local bakeries already have colorful King Cakes for sale.
