The Apple Valley Home & Garden Expo is the largest home show south-of-the-river. Over 120 Home & Garden related businesses and organizations welcome everyone with free admission, free face-painting by Eastview students, city firetrucks to climb upon and grilled food. TV Gardening host Bobby Jensen from KARE 11 said the Apple Valley Home & Garden Expo “One of the best local home shows in the Twin Cities. They do it right!” There is free fun, food grilled by the local Boy Scouts troop (100% of sales goes to the troop) and you can buy local from people you can get to know face-to-face.
