Greensboro, NC -- Everything you could ever want to spruce up your home and garden will be under one roof this weekend.

Our Mr. Fix It Tom Garcia says there are so many ideas you can take from the Southern Ideal Home Show at the Greensboro Coliseum.

Garcia says you can find items to help improve your garden. They are special tools you can buy to prune your bushes and branches on your trees. He found one tool in particular that helps people who have problems with their hands.

He also found a chicken coop at the show. It has heat, an insulated roof, vinyl operable windows, individual spaces for each chicken and an operating door where you can get find their eggs.

Garcia says there is a potting shed you can buy. It's special because of the way light goes inside and there is a heat lamp installed. The potting shed is also a great structure to prepare your plants and to bring them in from the harsh winter weather.

One designer made outdoor living just as enjoyable as staying indoors.  Garcia says the area came with a fire pit, concrete block walkway and a full outdoor kitchen. It has a refrigerator, a barbecue pit, a cooker and an outdoor pizza oven.

Thousands of experts will be at the Southern Ideal Home Show to share their ideas on how you can improve your home.

You can meet John Gidding from HGTV's The Curb Appeal: The Block.

Products for your kitchen and bathroom will also be available to buy. You can take more ideas for your living room from designer rooms on display. There will also be a sample sale where you can shop for bargains too.
