Event represents more than a weekend gathering – it’s a strategic opportunity to strengthen relationships

As the Upper Cumberland continues to experience steady residential growth and increased demand for home improvement services, the 2026 Home & Garden Show, hosted by the Upper Cumberland Home Builders Association (UCHBA), returns this weekend as both a community event and an economic driver for the region’s housing industry.

Set for March 28 – 29 at DelMonaco Winery & Vineyards in Baxter, the annual showcase brings together contractors, builders, designers and service providers in a setting that connects local businesses directly with homeowners ready to invest in their properties. 

For UCHBA President Jake Reel, the event represents more than a weekend gathering – it’s a strategic opportunity to strengthen relationships between industry professionals and the communities they serve.

“This is one of our favorite events of the year because it truly brings the community together,” Reel said. “Whether you’re planning a major renovation or just looking for ideas, this show gives people a chance to meet trusted local professionals and see what’s possible for their home.”

A marketplace for local industry

The Home & Garden Show arrives at a time when the Upper Cumberland housing sector remains active, with continued interest in remodeling, outdoor living enhancements and new construction. The event serves as a regional marketplace, allowing businesses—from roofing and construction to landscaping and interior design – to showcase their work, generate leads and build brand visibility.

For small and mid-sized contractors, events like this provide a valuable alternative to traditional advertising by offering face-to-face engagement with potential clients.

In addition to vendor exhibits, attendees can explore interactive displays, product demonstrations and design ideas that reflect evolving trends in home functionality, energy efficiency, and outdoor living spaces.

Supporting economic growth through housing

The Home Builders Association’s work extends beyond events, focusing on advocacy, education, and workforce development within the construction industry. The Home & Garden Show plays a role in that broader mission by helping sustain local businesses and encouraging continued investment in residential development.

As housing demand continues across the Upper Cumberland, strengthening connections between builders, suppliers, and homeowners remains essential to maintaining a healthy and responsive market.

A setting that reflects the region

Held at DelMonaco Winery & Vineyards, the event blends business with experience, offering attendees a relaxed, family-friendly environment while engaging with industry professionals. The venue’s setting reflects the lifestyle many homeowners in the region are seeking—combining indoor comfort with outdoor living and entertainment spaces. The 2026 Home & Garden Show is open to the public and welcomes anyone interested in improving, building or investing in their home. Organizers emphasize that whether attendees arrive with a project in mind or simply to explore ideas, the event offers accessible entry points into the local housing network.
