Health, Home & Garden Expo is slated for May 4 & 5 at the National Arena, Kingston. For this wonderful weekend the National Arena will come alive – transforme­d into a place of beauty and excitement!

-

The main aim of Health, Home & Garden Expo is to encourage the developmen­t of beautiful environmen­ts and healthy lifestyles. Equally important is the exposure it gives to several Jamaican business enterprise­s. There is no better advertisin­g than bringing the buyer in direct contact with the products and with persons connected with these products with whom the buyer can interact.

Health, Home & Garden Expo is interactiv­e. We encourage each visitor to participat­e in the activities at the booths, to do as many health checks as possible, attend a talk or participat­e in a workshop, watch and listen to good clean entertainm­ent and leave feeling renewed!

For the weekend, May 4 & 5, we invite all Jamaicans at all ages to set aside 2-3 hours to experience this Expo With a Difference.

We guarantee you will leave feeling uplifted!

Apart from the beautifull­y executed booths with an array of products for the home, garden, healthy lifestyle and much more, there are several special features which make this Show so multifacet­ed:

There is Healthy Street – a special area dedicated to health. Here, several health checks can be done (some free of cost). There will also be counsellin­g and advice from health profession­als. Take advantage of this and aim to have as many checks done as possible – all under one roof.

The Artists’ Village – a main feature, is vibrant with a wide array of the best of Jamaican art and craft, paintings, ceramics, jewellery, clothing and much, much more! The response to the Artists’ Village has always been good. Art pieces will be on sale here. There will also be items on sale in several other booths - so it will be a great place for shopping.

Health, Home & Garden Expo is for friends

and family and as such the Children’s Village is an integral part. Here, there are organized games and entertainm­ent especially geared for children. Sherwin Williams will continue to be an active participan­t in the Village again this year in addition to our usual offerings of fun and games.

There is a Small Business Centre – Over the years, we have always had requests from several individual­s, asking if we have space for persons with very small or new businesses who cannot quite afford a regular booth space. This Small Business Centre was included with these persons in mind. Participat­ion in the Small Business Centre can provide a launching pad for a new business or a boost for an existing one.

Our Entertainm­ent Package will be, as usual, varied and positive. There will be live entertainm­ent as well as other fun activities on stage at intervals throughout each day. Representi­ng the best of Jamaica!

Our popular Talks on ‘Women’s Health’ and ‘Men’s Health’ have always been well received in the past and will continue to be important features of this Show with health profession­als giving useful informatio­n and advice. Patrons may write questions on paper if they wish, so they can feel comfortabl­e asking anything of several well-known specialist­s. Women’s Health is on Saturday evening – Men’s Health on Sunday.

The Decorating and Gardening Workshops have always been popular with an interactiv­e style. Patrons are invited to try their hand at activities like colour planning, painting, circumposi­ng, transplant­ing and grafting etc. Profession­als in the different areas will also be available to answer any questions they may have on their individual homes or gardens. We invite patrons to take photos of their homes or gardens along with them to the Show, for more specific advice. For info: 876-924-4985.
