And we have everything that keeps you in the know in the local new home industry. First off, we have the latest updates on the dynamic development of Village at Griesbach in our cover feature, the former military base has become a leading example of the redevelopment of communities closer to Edmonton’s core. There are plenty of housing options to fit every lifestyle and budget here, including the new homes with over-the-garage garden suites. Read on to find out more. Village at Griesbach is also part of our larger look at the infill developments around Edmonton. The massive development of Blatchford is also part of that discussion, as we also get insights from the Infill Development in Edmonton Association (IDEA), which is advocating for the city’s infill developers. The Edmonton Home + Garden Show is back after nearly two years of pandemic-induced cancellations, and it promises a return of all the excitement and DIY know-how that has made this trade show a must-go event all these years. We also have inside a partial list of the finalists in this year’s CHBAEdmonton Region’s Awards of Excellence, see if your favourite builder or developer made it. And stay tuned next month when we tell you who the winners are. Edmonton is beginning to shake off last month’s bitter cold, and the new home industry is preparing for what promises to be a whirlwind spring selling season.

COVER STORY

Infill Housing with a Beautiful Legacy Village at Griesbach is North Edmonton’s Ideal Infill Location

Infill housing has taken Edmonton by storm. The phrase ‘infill development’ refers to building within urban areas that are underutilized or unused. Infill developments are critical to accommodating the growth of a city and designing community spaces to be environmentally and socially responsible. Infill housing revitalizes neighborhoods and presents new opportunities for home builders across the city. Village at Griesbach is one of those communities, as the entire development provides amazing infill opportunities for builders. “The whole community of Griesbach is considered infill as the whole area has been envisioned into a wellplanned community that integrates existing tree stands and vegetation, provides for a range of housing types, establishes a high-quality public area, and ensures a unique urban experience through the development of a town square, parks, and community amenities,” says

Georgette L’Hirondelle, Marketing Manager for Canada Lands Company in Village at Griesbach. The Edmonton area supports infill developments, but there are very few communities that offer a truly redeveloped experience. Most infill housing is found in one off builds within mature neighborhoods.

“What makes Griesbach a top choice is the fact the entire area has been under construction since early 2010, the community has established homes, schools, shopping and other amenities. The surrounding communities include transit, health care, major roads and other established infrastructure,”” L’Hirondelle comments. Village at Griesbach is a proud supporter of infill housing. Canada Lands Company, the community’s developer, works closely with the City of Edmonton to meet the City’s action plan laid out in the Infill Roadmap. Since Village at Griesbach is an entirely redeveloped space, the community is a high contributor to the progress in infill developments found throughout the city. Village at Griesbach provides community members with an assortment of home styles and price points, as well as options for both home buyers and renters. The master-planned community is designed to ensure that people with specific needs can find their dream home in Griesbach — whether they envision a condo, rental space, attached garage home, or a walkout home backing onto a park space!

New Home + Condo Guide | March 4–April 1, 2022

Some of the primary benefits of living in an infill development versus a new community are being closer to the city core, having established transit routes that are close by, shorter commutes, a variety of businesses, mature trees, and being surrounded by other neighborhoods, says L’Hirondelle. Village at Griesbach has all these features and more. Because the community is an infill redevelopment, the area is easily accessible by major highways, has multiple shopping centers nearby, and there are plenty of schools within and around the community! Another fantastic feature of the community is the introduction of zoning to accommodate garage suites and secondary basement suites. Building income suites is another part of infill housing that revitalizes a community while also providing additional living spaces, reducing urban sprawl, and ensuring that a community has affordable housing options.

for caregivers of young children, as well as supplemental income by housing a tenant. Income from garage suites can help pay off a mortgage faster or allow for additional disposable income, L’Hirondelle mentions. Village at Griesbach supports garage suites as they offer a product that many renters agree is superior. Garage suites are built above ground and away from a main house, meaning that a tenant has better light and air quality and there is far more privacy between the home and suite. Village at Griesbach’s select builder group have a variety of floorplans and options to choose from for either a garage suite or basement suite. Your builder will work with you on financing options to build the income properties into your mortgage,” says L’Hirondelle.

“In Griesbach, garage suites are available on lots that have alley access; the suites themselves are built by the select builder group. For inspiration, two of the builders on Greenaway Avenue have model suites to visit,” L’Hirondelle says. All the builders in Griesbach offer an option for garage suite opportunities, but if you’d like to take a closer look, you can visit the show home parade on Greenaway Avenue. Homes by Avi and Impact Homes have laned home show homes, and atop the detached garage they have built beautiful garage suites. Taking a tour of the garage suites gives viewers a better understanding of what a garage suite would look like. Garage suites are incredibly versatile, but both suites in The Village at Griesbach show home parade are one bedroom, one bathroom, with in-suite laundry.

“Most lots in Griesbach are zoned to allow homeowners to build garage suites that can be rented to supplement income or for personal use,” says L’Hirondelle Garage suites are above ground suites that you can build atop or alongside a detached garage. Some of the reasons a homeowner may choose to build a garage suite include helping aging parents, providing housing

Sustainable gardening Find out what you can do to make the world a better place – beginning in your backyard! by MARK & BEN CULLEN

hether you define yourself as a gardener or not, we hope you find the following suggestions helpful. These are our top four ideas for making your yard, which is an integral part of the community around you, an environmentally better place for all:

ideas

Hang your laundry Every year, Canadians use an average of 100 kilowatt-hours of energy using the clothes dryer. Your clothes dryer uses as much power as 225 lightbulbs. In total, for all Canadians, this is roughly equivalent to the output of three coal-fired power plants per year. It’s important to note that you can save up to $250 a year by drying your clothes outside.

Buy a rake This suggestion is a not-so-subtle way of saying that you should not buy a gas-powered leaf blower. And if you have one, ignore it and let it hang in the garage until it rots. Giving it away means that someone else might use it, and that would defeat the purpose. If everyone who uses a leaf blower instead used a fan rake (on the lawn) or a broom (on hard surfaces), imagine how much quieter our neighbourhoods would be. And how much more satisfying yard cleaning could be. There is more

that you can do if you wish to add to the environmental benefits of living in a neighbourhood. You can trade your gas-powered lawnmower for one of the new lightweight, walkbehind, manual reel-type mowers or a rechargeable electric model.

of your outdoor space than any single addition that you can make. And all it takes is a half barrel of water and a few floating water-lettuce or water hyacinths. A ground-level pond is better still, where toads and frogs can play, drink, mate and live.

Add water and don’t stir

Plant natives

Think of your yard as one patch in a patchwork of yards around your neighbourhood. And think of the patchwork of yards as part of a bigger whole that includes public parks, soccer fields and other public greenspaces. Got the snapshot in your mind? Now think of the positive impact you can have on the sustainable bioactivity in your neighbourhood by adding a water feature to your landscape. Environmentally speaking, still water (versus a waterfall or fountain) provides more benefits to the ecology

As you plan your garden for this upcoming season, be sure to add some native plants to your mix. They are insect and disease free, for the most part, and they attract all kinds of pollinating insects, birds and butterflies. Many perennial flowering plants are very winter-hardy and flower for an extended period each spring and summer. Some of our favourites include bee balm (Monarda spp.), purple coneflower (Echinacea spp.), Canadian ginger (Asarum canadense) and Joe Pye weed (Eupatorium spp.).

Kin at Schonsee

setting down new roots in

the northeast by PePPer rodriguez

In the heart of the new northeast, growth is the long-range forecast. New families have taken to the fresh, dynamic, young communities that have blossomed mostly along Anthony Henday Drive and 187 Avenue NW. What used to be a more industrial part of the city is now gaining a reputation for the wide range of family-friendly, nature-centric, amenity-rich residential communities that are found in this New Northeast Many offer designs centred on nature and recreation that offer residents an environment they can enjoy and a shared space they can meet their neighbours. But the astounding array of housing options, offered in prices to fit almost any budget, is what the New Northeast has become known for. Crystallina Nera by Genstar and Citadel by Hopewell Residential are among the best-selling young communities here. And one of the latest ones, Kin at Schonsee, has been so successful it has been 100 percent sold out to third party homebuilders, its developers say. 16

New Home + Condo Guide | March 4–April 1, 2022

“We are welcoming our first residents in April 2022,” says Jesse LaFrance of JLDevelopments, Kin at Schonsee’s developer. Genstar says a little over half of Crystallina Nera has been developed and that over 3,000 residents already call the community home. Crystallina Nera is a vibrant and dynamic neighbourhood with housing options for everyone. It is ideally located with quick access to 82 Street, 66 Street and the Anthony Henday. Crystallina has ample green space with an urban forest and kilometers of walking trails winding through the community and around stormwater management ponds. The first commercial site is under construction and the Shell Gas Bar and Carwash is now open. It has an appealing range of home types from front-attached garage homes on traditional lots or zero lot lines from the $500,000s, laned homes from the high $400,000s and townhomes from the $400,000s. Citadel by Hopewell Residential has also been a favourite among new home buyers, as it offers a

diverse range of lifestyle-oriented, first-time homebuyer and move-up homes. Hopewell Residential is the land developer and a builder in this community just off 153 Avenue and Victoria Trail NW. Citadel is surrounded by plentiful amenities, including shopping centres, parks and recreational facilities helping it achieve its vision as a family-friendly community. The Fraser Community League and Park is just two minutes away and accessibility is no problem as it is close to Anthony Henday Drive

Kuhlmann’s

Crystallina Nera

and Manning Drive. The Clareview Train Station is also just seven minutes away. Excel Homes is a new builder in Citadel and their new duplex with attached garage showhomes have been a hit. Excel Homes Marketing Manager, Kristina Plank, says the new show homes have been very well received since they opened in October. One of the features that makes them stand out is that both models have double front-attached garages, a rarity in the duplex line. “Front attached garages on duplexes are unique. Plus, all our duplexes offer the option to fully develop the basement, which provides homeowners with even more space to fit their lifestyle. Buyers receive all the benefits of a singlefamily lifestyle at a multi-family home price, without being saddled with condo fees,” she says. She says the dynamic community of Citadel makes it even more attractive to young families. “This community appeals to families just starting out or moving up. We offer both duplex models and front drive homes – we can help you find the right size home for the right price.” The borders of the NE Edmonton quadrant are commonly seen as

Excel Homes in Citadel

the Yellowhead Trail to the south, the city limits to the north and east, and 97 Street to the west. Our NextHome Northeast Map shows no less than 15 new communities and three major multi-family developments in the vicinity. Growth in the future is seen, and the relative affordability of homes here will likely make it a certainty. Life is that much easier too, as they are surrounded by amenities including the Manning Town Centre, Clareview Rec Centre as well as Londonderry Leisure Centre. “Clareview LRT access is a short drive away from most new communities and provides extra transit options for those in need. Besides the big box stores that bring convenience to life, NE Edmonton is also replete with boutique stores and family-owned diners and eateries that bring so much character to the neighbourhood. There is no shortage of dining options nearby, especially Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. There’s the Kabsa The Ultimate Cuisine along 153 Ave. NW, that is famous for their traditional Middle Eastern dishes. Popular dishes include the lamb kabsa, the chicken mendi, and the vegetarian kabsa. Eddie’s Donair take you on

an exquisite experience with our offerings that are always rich in flavour, perfect for whole family or ordering late-night food with friends. There’s also Fuss Cupcakes, Edmonton’s Original Cupcake Bakery! A city favourite for 10 years. Locally owned and 100 per cent nut free.

The appEal of infill living in

Edmonton by PePPer rodriguez

New homeowning opportunities abound in Edmonton with the continued growth of new communities along its outer limits. Infill living, however, has gained a new appeal with the emergence of distinctive, forward-thinking developments closer to the city’s core. Building a new home in some of the more established communities surrounding Edmonton’s downtown has always been perceived to be costlier compared to new homes in the suburbs. But with new developments like Village at Griesbach and Blatchford that are located nearer the core, there is a more appealing way of living 20 New Home + Condo Guide | March 4–April 1, 2022

the downtown lifestyle at a more economical way. Infill development does speak to sustainability and Edmonton is serious about planning much of its future growth along established neighbourhoods and repurposed land or brownfield developments. And the passing of Edmonton’s strategic land use plan last year paves the way for even more growth in the industry. “The wonderful thing about living in an infill development is the proximity to establish shopping, transit and other mature neighbours,” says Georgette L’Hirondelle, CLC Marketing Manager, Village at Griesbach.

“Griesbach has poured life into the mature neighbours by adding beautiful greenspace, parks and lakes. Village at Griesbach housing types creates a diverse family-centric community, within a walkable community,” she adds. Tom Lumsden, Blatchford Development Manager, agrees. “Infill living can be appealing to people for a number of reasons - it can allow them to live in a vibrant and urban community, purchase a new construction home and live in a central location,” he says. “Blatchford combines the best of mature neighbourhoods — central living, connected streets,

Blatchford

vibrant public spaces — with sustainable features that will make the community resilient, including renewable energy and low-impact design, paths and public transit, high building standards and a diversity of housing.” The massive redevelopment projects of Village at Griesbach and Blatchford may not be traditional infill projects, but the repurposing of the land - the former used to be a military base and the latter was the city’s first airport – follow the tenets of sustainability and Edmonton’s vision for a revitalized urban core.

fuTure growTh

The burgeoning infill industry itself is enjoying tremendous growth as more homebuyers are enticed by the lifestyle – of shorter commutes to work, established and plentiful amenities, and even the presence of mature trees. Edmonton’s Infill Roadmap notes that supporting residential infill in established neighbourhoods is an important way to help everyone find the right homes in the right communities. It further states that supporting infill is also an important way to sustain established

Village at Griesbach

neighbourhoods maintain their vitality and make the best use of existing infrastructure. Helping fulfill this vision is the Infill Development in Edmonton Association (IDEA), which provides the voice of the city’s infill development industry. “Our purpose is to drive change toward people-centred communities, and we do so through a committed volunteer board and diverse membership, including builders, developers, consultants and community members,” says Chelsey Jersak, IDEA’s current president and founder and principal of Edmonton-based Situate urban planning firm. whaT’s an infill?

“We commonly refer to ‘an infill’ as a skinny house, but ‘infill’ is actually a much broader term than most people realize. It refers to the creative reuse or transformation of land and buildings in existing parts of the city, and it can look like all kinds of things: new single detached houses, row houses, and apartment buildings in existing areas of the city are all forms of infill,” Jersak says. With the approval of Edmonton’s strategic land use plan last year, Jersak says the city is poised more

nexthome.ca

Village at Griesbach Village at Griesbach

than ever to make big steps in the infill industry’s growth. “City Plan encourages small scale infill throughout all parts of existing residential neighbourhoods, and mid and large-scale infill along key roadways and employment areas (like Downtown, Garneau/U of A, Kingsway, etc). Rezoning to allow for row housing continues to take place within neighbourhoods, and we’re seeing more and more rezoning applications for four and six storey buildings in strategic areas slated for intensification,” she says. For example, Situate recently worked with Redline Building to rezone a site 22

New Home + Condo Guide | March 4–April 1, 2022

on Stony Plain to allow for a future six storey building, she adds. village aT griesbach

Village at Griesbach is a major redevelopment effort going on close to downtown, converting what was then the CFB Edmonton (Canadian Forces Base). Developed by the Canada Lands Company (CLC), the “Village” is ideally located 12 minutes from city centre at the intersection of 97 Street and 137 Avenue. Its innovative “urban village” design is one of the world’s best examples of this development concept which places the health and happiness

of people over the transportation efficiency of automobiles. “Village at Griesbach works to create a vibrant community by contributing to the creation of revitalization with mature neighbourhoods through community development,” L’Hirondelle says. “Griesbach provides open spaces, mature trees. As a master-planned development, Village at Griesbach promotes and provides a variety of housing options from condos to estate homes.” Buyers have responded well to the Village with already 65 percent of the development complete. “We have another decade of building and development remaining. When Griesbach is completed, the community will contribute to the city by having over 13,000 residents in a variety of housing types,” she adds. The “Village” offers both multifamily and single-family homes to appeal to almost all lifestyles. Offered are condominiums from the mid $200’s, to the mid $300’s for singlefamily townhomes, and up to over $800’s for a single-family attached garage and detached garage homes. “In addition, a majority of the lots have been zoned for garage suites and basement suites. Homes start in the low $400’s. It is recommended to book an appointment with one

Situate

of the builders to learn more about building a dream home in Griesbach,” she adds. And there is more coming to be proud of, as CLC began construction on one of the community’s newest amenities, Maple Leaf Pond. “The newest park will include a lake shaped into a Maple Leaf, sitting, trails, picnic areas and a skating rink in the winter.” Visit villageatgriesbach.com for more. blaTchford

Blatchford sits on 536 acres of prime land in the heart of Edmonton. It used to be the site of the province’s first

airport and is now being redeveloped into a modern community for 30,000 residents based on a sustainable lifestyle. “Blatchford will play an important role in the City of Edmonton’s overall vision for infill development. It will be a key hub for the City’s goal of reaching 50 percent growth through infill,” Lumsden says.” By creating an energy efficient, high-density neighbourhood right in the city core, Blatchford will play a key role as Edmonton plans for another million residents in the coming decades.” Blatchford will be made up of two primarily residential spaces on the Blatchford

east and west side of the site, along with a town centre that will be packed full of life, an 80-acre central park, plenty of additional green space and a civic plaza. With all your daily needs in easy reach, Blatchford will almost be a city within a city. “Blatchford combines the best of urban living with local neighbourhood charm,” says Lumsden. “This master planned community will connect homes with shops, great parks, walkable streets and community amenities. By combining the best of ‘people-first’ design principles with leading sustainability practices, Blatchford will offer home buyers a truly unique lifestyle experience not available anywhere else in our city.” He adds that Blatchford is aimed at Edmonton’s “missing middle,” flexible multi-unit housing available in urban centres around the world, yet missing in most Canadian cities. “Mixeduse spaces will also help Blatchford become a 15-minute neighbourhood, where all daily needs can be met without ever having to jump in a car.” For more on Blatchford, visit blatchfordedmonton.ca.

Effect Homes

Edmonton’s green revolution by PEPPEr rodriguEz Owning a home comes with big responsibilities – one of the biggest being monthly utility bills. With this winter’s bitter cold snap, your upcoming bill might come with a bit of sticker shock. Outright electrocution in some cases. Even more worrisome is that electricity prices have been going up for some time. According to energy comparison website energyrates.ca, Alberta’s energy prices have increased by 34 per cent between November 2020 and 2021. Homebuilders have noticed and are taking initiatives to help consumers in the fight against rising energy bills while saving the environment as well. Many have taken up the Built Green

program, and some are taking the next level to Net Zero homes. Built Green Canada is an industry-driven, national, nonprofit organization committed to working with builders interested in responsible sustainability practices in the residential building sector. It uses a certification program that promotes healthy building measures, such as no or low volatile organic compounds, heat recovery ventilators for fresh air and high efficiency features. It also serves to underline the economic and health benefits of building “green.” This year, Built Green Canada launched its Net Zero Energy+ program for single family new homes, which it calls “a new level of achievement within the organization’s long-held, industry friendly green building program.” They’ve created a labelling program which provides the industry and consumers with clear and precise technical requirements for two levels of labelling: Net Zero and Net Zero Ready Homes. The initiative will help in achieving the Government of Canada’s 2030 target to have all provinces and

territories adopt a net zero energy ready building code. Today, there are Canadian builders reaching this target, while many more have a ways to go. In Edmonton, Effect Home Builders and Excel Homes are among those who have embraced the program to give their homeowners an edge in the energy wars. equipping neT Zero homes

Simply put, Net Zero homes are homes that produce as much energy as they consume. A Net Zero home can include features like a fresh air system (HRV), double-coated triple-pane windows, solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, and LED lighting, not to mention an airtight exterior envelope that locks in the temperature. Cooler in summer, warmer in the winter and unbelievably quiet all the time with the tamping down of outside noise. The result is an energy-efficient home and exceptional living experience. Net Zero homeowners will save on their utility bills, be protected from energy price increases, and live in a healthier,

quieter, more durable and comfortable home. One of the biggest challenges is surmounting the perception that building energy-efficient homes is more expensive. Although building better-insulated, air-tight homes does come with higher upfront costs, the savings one can get in utility costs down the road will balance it out. The financing of the increase on the buyers’ mortgage is covered by the utility savings. Further to this, they can also get 25 percent of your CMHC premium back after you move in, and electrical rate shifting allows you to cover even more in the summer when they are over producing power with their solar panels. All in all, you can make money by building a Net Zero home. The effecT of green homes

Effect Home Builders has been one of the most decorated custom home builders in Edmonton for their environmentally-sustainable home designs. In 2020, they took

Effect Homes – Summit

home the BILD Alberta’s Energy Efficiency Award. In 2012, they won the National and Provincial Green Home Award from the Canadian Home Builders Association (CHBA). That same year, Effect also won Best Infill Project – Green Home of the Year Awards. Suffice to say, Effect Home Builders takes energy-saving design seriously. Effect Homes’ Sydney Bond says the cost savings it affords homeowners in their utility bills is worth every penny they spend to build one. “Buying a home can be one of the biggest investments of your life, so ensuring you have a home that is built properly and will keep your family healthy and safe is crucial. It may feel like more of an investment up front, but you are protected in the future from costly fixes, and expensive utility bills. It’s about both climate AND financial resiliency,” she tells Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide. They specialize in building infill homes and acreages where they

Effect Homes – Summit

have the added advantage of easily orienting their homes to maximize use of solar panels. “Effect has always endeavored to build houses better than industry standard. We believe that building houses to this standard means paying close attention to the building envelope and applying the important building science principles of House As A System,” Bond says. “This means houses built to this standard will perform very well, be less expensive to heat and cool, and be protected from water damage and other ecological factors.” Although Effect does not have a dedicated showhome, they do frequently tour clients through projects in progress to show them all the stages of construction. “They can also tour a selection of our completed homes at the yearly EcoSolar Home Tour,” she says. Those can be arranged through ecosolar.ca. Visit effecthomes.ca for more information.

Excel Homes has also made environmental sustainability a key feature in their homes, and they are part of the Built Green initiative. The Marketing Manager at Excel Homes, Kristina Plank, says that since 1988, more than 12,000 Alberta families have trusted Excel to construct their home, and since 2007, they have delivered more than 3,000+ homes registered as energy-efficient BUILT GREEN® homes. “One of our company’s key values is Responsibility. We consider the impact of our actions and choices, today and tomorrow, and lead the industry in many areas including safety and sustainability,” Plank says. “We’ve partnered with Built Green to certify the construction of energy-

efficient and environmentally responsible homes. Together with Built Green, the result is a healthy, smart home designed for a happy family.” Excel Homes offers a wide selection of proven floor plans equipped with energy-efficient features, from appliances to insulation. Many of the company’s show homes in the seven communities they build in are already Built Green Canada certified, and it is clear for visitors to see just how much value it brings to their homes. Plank says, in fact, all theirsingle-family homes are Built Green certified. “The cost of using Built Green materials is minimal. The long-term benefits of lower utility bills helps balance out the

GREEN THUMBS RULE AT EDMONTON HOME + GARDEN SHOW by Pepper Rodriguez

A sure sign of spring is the Edmonton Home + Garden Show that is back this March after a nearly two-year hiatus. Another sure sign of spring is the start of the gardening season, which is always at risk of cancellation because of central Alberta’s notoriously fickle weather. Indoor gardens though, tend to flourish no matter the weather outside, and Sonya Nisevich of Plantsome thinks it’s the best kind of stress relief especially for the times we live in. “Caring for indoor plants comes with many benefits! Plants give you something to care for, teach patience, and promote concentration. They can also relieve stress and increase the 34

oxygen in your space. Not to mention - a green home is aesthetically SO pleasing!” she tells Edmonton New Home + Condo Guide. Plantsome is an Alberta-based indoor plant distribution company that ships to all Canadian provinces, and they are one of the 400 exhibitors coming this year to the Edmonton Home + Garden Show happening March 24 to 27 at the Edmonton EXPO Centre. Sonya says Plantsome was founded because buying plants should be easy and fun. The nationwide plant distributor says it couldn’t help but notice how inconvenient (and boring!) it is to buy plants. So instead of turning your car into a mess and

breaking your back to carry your new green friend home, they figured they would ship them to you and have some fun helping you select the perfect plants! “We love plants and take pride in carefully curating our tropical plants, but the mission doesn’t end there. We care deeply about the planet and want to leave it better than we found it. That is why we use as little plastics as we can, recycle all incoming packing material from our suppliers and work only with reputable vendors and nurseries.” Edmonton New Home + Garden Show sat down with Sonya to talk about the best ways to raise and care for indoor plants.

What to expect at the 2022 Edmonton Home + Garden Show After a nearly two-year hiatus the Edmonton Home + Garden Show is back, and how! Kristy Cairns, Group Manager at Marketplace Events, the show’s organizer say they will continue to follow all provincial guidelines, and they are optimistic that everything will be back to normal when the show opens on March 24.

1. CAN YOU GIVE US SOME INDOOR PLANTS THAT WOULD BE RELATIVELY EASY TO RAISE IN ALBERTA?

Ssssssssnake Plants like Gus and Kaa (Sansevieria Zeylanica and Sansevieria Laurentii) are some of our go-to easy care amigos along with Pablo (Peperomia Obtusifolia)— he’s pet friendly, too!—and Amelia (Pothos Gold) if you’re feeling some trailing vibes. 2. CAN YOU GIVE US FIVE TIPS ON BEST WAY TO NURTURE THESE PLANTS?

How much watering, plant food, do they have to be transplanted to bigger containers? Snake Plants, Peperomia Obtusifolia, and Pothos are tough cookies that can survive a little neglect. They tolerate a variety of lighting conditions from bright, indirect light to partial shade and don’t need a ton of H2O. Snake Plants like to dry out completely between waterings and both Pothos and Peperomia Obtusifolia like for the top 1/3 to ½ of their soil to dry between waterings. These guys would like some plant food every month or every other month when they are putting out new growth (usually in the spring and summer). All purpose liquid plant food will do the trick. Every 2-3 years you’ll want

The BroLaws

to repot if you’re noticing that the plant is starting to get root bound (the pot is filling up with roots). The new pot should be two inches in diameter larger than the existing pot, and always make sure it has drainage holes! 3. HOW DO YOU CHOOSE CONTAINERS FOR PLANTS?

Store-bought plants, is it okay to keep them in the vases or pots they come in? If you intend to repot directly into the new container, we always recommend that the new container has drainage holes. However, we usually recommend leaving your new green amigo in their plastic nursery pot and finding a decorative pot that fits the nursery pot inside, no repotting necessary! 4. WHERE BEST TO POSITION INDOOR PLANTS IN A HOME?

It depends on the lighting needs of the plant, so it’s important to check the needs of your specific plant. Most indoor houseplants will thrive in bright, indirect light so close to an east or west facing window or a little bit back from a south facing window. Make sure to avoid any heaters/heating vents/AC vents since they create pockets of very dry air which your green amigo will not appreciate.

This year’s show promises the return of some of the most popular exhibitors and presenters, as well as some exciting new ones. “VanLife is back for Edmonton, same with For Your Home Marketplace and DYP Refillery. We also have some other design features such as the Backyard Wars, Pick Your Picnic as well as Hello from the Outside,” Cairns says. “For speakers we’re really excited to have BroLaws joins us as well as Leigh-Ann Allaire Perrault!” The BroLaws Dave Kenney and Joey Fletcher have been working as expert builders on and off camera for over a decade. They have been a part of many HGTV Canada shows such as Family Home Overhaul, Decked Out, Disaster Decks, Custom Built, and Home To Win. They also make regular appearances as home and garden experts on Cityline. Leigh-Ann Allaire Perrault Leigh-Ann Allaire Perrault is a TV personality, colour and design expert, and spokesperson for Rust-Oleum Canada. For the past 16 years, Leigh-Ann has been sharing her hands-on approach to DIY and design on Canada’s longest running daytime television show, Cityline. Her work has gained attention for being unapologetically frugal without sacrificing quality and style, and along with being a regular contributor to various national print publications, her projects have been shared internationally.
