The Seventh Annual Spring Home & Garden Show at The Woodlands on March 7 and 8
at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel and Convention Center will be brimming with
innovative, green-friendly products and ideas to improve your home.
Angelique Grado of Green Builders Source, one of several featured speakers, is bringing
with her a truckload of must-see new products, along with her eco-friendly expertise.
One of the most exciting things is Kirei (kee-ray) Board. Sporting beautiful textures and grains,
it is a strong, lightweight, durable and environmentally friendly wood substitute. “Our customers
are using this exotic new product for furniture, cabinetry and interior design elements,” Grado
explains. “It’s manufactured from reclaimed sorghum straw and non-formaldehyde adhesive,
which means it’s rapidly renewable, as well as a unique option for furniture-grade wood.”
Other tricks up Grado’s eco-friendly sleeve are Cork flooring, Marmoleum click flooring,
Windstorm’s Bike Generator and IceStone, a new countertop material made of recycled glass
and concrete.
More speakers at the show include LaVerne Williams, green architect; Ron Thompson,
outdoor living expert; Michael Strong, co-host of Home-Improvement Hotline on the 9-5-0 AM;
Randy Lemmon, GardenLine host, 740 AM NewsRadio; Michael Garfield, the High-Tech Texan,
The 9-5-0 AM; a green lighting efficiency expert from Carol’s Lighting; Jeff Cunningham, new
outdoor kitchen products; Linda Durham, organizing guru; and Peggy McGowen, ASID, CMKBD,
new products for kitchens and baths.
