The annual Capital Home & Garden Show starts today and runs through Sunday. More than 750 exhibitors will offer workshops, demonstrations and expert advice. Along with such usual subjects as lawn care and landscaping, the event will cover cost-efficient home improvements, such as when to tackle a DIY project, when to call in an expert and how to shop for energy-efficient appliances.

The show is at the Dulles Expo Center, 4368 Chantilly Shopping Center, Chantilly. Hours vary. Tickets for adults are $9 online, $12 at the box office. For more information, call 716-631-2266 or visit http://www.capitalhomeshow.com.
