SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, March 11, 2016 (Gephardt Daily) — A popular home and garden festival in Salt Lake City will welcome a lineup of celebrity guests this weekend.

The 2016 Salt Lake Tribune Home and Garden Festival runs Friday through Sunday at the South Towne Expo Center, at 9575 S. State St.

This year, the Home and Garden Festival welcomes Chris and Peyton Lambton, HGTV stars of “Going Yard” and past contestants on ABC’s “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette.” Also joining the celebrity guest lineup are Andy and Candis Meredith, husband and wife team from Provo, Utah, and stars of DIY Network’s “Old Home Love.”

A news release about the festival said: “As a married couple, Chris and Peyton Lambton take on rundown backyards and transform them into stunning outdoor spaces for the whole family. Prior to HGTV’s ‘Going Yard,’ and even before meeting each other, Chris and Peyton appeared on separate seasons of ABC’s ‘The Bachelor’ and ‘The Bachelorette.’ Chris has worked in landscaping for several years and owns his family’s landscape business, E. Lambton Landscaping. The Lambtons hope to inspire homeowners to think outside the box when it comes to the backyard.”
