Live demonstrations, do-it-yourself workshops and innovative products are just a sample of what will be showcased this weekend at the North Georgia Home and Garden Expo.

The expo will be open from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Sunday at the Lakeview Center, 2057 Dawson Forest Road.

Organizer and Dawson Lumpkin Homebuilder's Association President Bob Clark said the group chose to expand offerings in the expo's third year to appeal to a larger demographic.

In the past the expo was geared toward builders.

Clark said booths will feature fresh ideas in interior and exterior décor, home improvement design and home remodeling supplies, as well as a selection of gardening plants and accessories and landscape tools and products.

Admission is $3 for adults; children younger than 12 are free.
