Homeowners and garden enthusiasts will find everything they need to kickstart their spring projects at the Centerville Spring Expo, an expansion of the City’s popular Spring Seminar.
The free Spring Expo takes place Saturday, April 11, from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. at Sinclair Centerville, 5800 Clyo Rd. Stop in throughout the event for a home-and-garden-style show featuring vendors from across Centerville and Washington Township, providing a one-stop destination for home improvement inspiration.
The event is sponsored by the Centerville City Beautiful Commission, Keep Centerville Beautiful, City of Centerville and The Heart of Centerville and Washington Township.
In addition to vendor displays showcasing the latest trends in home and garden design, the Spring Expo will feature three live expert sessions designed to educate and inspire:
9:15 a.m.: Home and Garden Panel - Spring Cleaning 101
A panel of local experts will offer practical tips for exterior home preparation and interior cleaning ahead of the Great American Community Garage Sale. From curb appeal improvements to decluttering strategies, the session will equip attendees with actionable advice to refresh their homes for the season.
9:45 a.m.: Perennials That Perform: Botanical Color Year-Round
Brandon Parks, horticulturist with the botanical gardens team at Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Columbus, will present Perennials That Perform: Botanical Color Year-Round. His session will focus on selecting both native and non-native perennials that deliver reliable, season-long color while supporting pollinators and overall garden health. Drawing inspiration from standout performers such as daylilies and other hardy varieties, Parks will emphasize the importance of “the right plant in the right place” — helping homeowners choose plants that thrive in their specific conditions while enhancing beauty, sustainability and biodiversity.
11:15 a.m.: Boxwood Battles and Backups
Jotham Smith, the City of Centerville’s certified arborist and horticulturist, will address the boxwood moth infestation that has devastated landscapes across the region. His session will explore effective management strategies and highlight alternative foundational plant varieties for homeowners considering replacements. Smith will also provide updates on the spotted lanternfly, which prompted a statewide quarantine last month, and what residents should know to protect their properties.
Guests can register to win exciting door prizes throughout the event. While not required, those wishing to attend the expert sessions should consider pre-registering at centervilleohio.gov/springexpo to expedite the check-in process at the event.
