Don’t miss The Living Garden, a unique entertainment experience where nature comes to life with an extraordinary combination of movement, music and live interaction. The Living Fountain is joined by The Rock and DiVine. The Rockman metamorphoses between rock and man as he camouflages completely with his habitat. Reaching a height from 9’ to 16’ tall, the living vine animates, moving in and out of stunning tableaus.
Visit The Belgard Challenge, adjacent to The Living Garden, to see three stunning landscapes built with Belgard hardscapes. Show visitors can vote for their favorite of the three landscapes and register to win a Belgard paver package for their own yard. Booth 2328, America’s Center

GREEN BUILDING PAVILION
Booth 120 • America’s Center

Save Money • Breathe Easier • Help the Environment
Green building is an effort to develop more energy-efficient, healthier and environmentally-responsible buildings through every phase of construction and operation, focusing on indoor air quality and waste reduction. Because of rising utility costs, many people are looking for ways to reduce their bills by making their homes and businesses more energy-efficient. “Green building” principles can help accomplish this. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the average home or business can save as much as 50% on their utility costs by incorporating various green building principles into a structure.



Family Fun Areas

Two areas sponsored by the Suburban Journals are dedicated to family entertainment – the giant Nascar slide and the Children’s Garden Club, brought to the show by St. Louis County Parks, with free hands-on projects to take home.
