While home and garden shows offer a showcase for products and services for homeowners, they also entice visitors with the opportunity to see a celebrity or two in person.

The Capital Remodel + Garden Show, which takes place Friday to Sunday in Chantilly, Va., will feature Barry Williams, a teen star from “The Brady Bunch” and more recently part of HGTV’s “A Very Brady Renovation.” Williams is also a singer and musician who tours with his band Barry Williams and the Traveliers. Williams will conduct a Q&A session and perform popular songs on the Main Home Stage Saturday at noon.

The event will include seminars from home remodeling and landscape experts, including author and gardener Joel Karsten, who will discuss straw bale gardening. Straw bale gardening, according to Karsten, is a different type of container gardening with the container as the straw bale itself held together with two or three strings. Once the straw inside the bale begins to decay the straw becomes conditioned compost that creates the plant rooting environment.
