Nashville Lawn & Garden Show

An announcement from the Nashville Lawn and Garden Foundation.

The Nashville Lawn and Garden Show has CLOSED.

It is with much thoughtful consideration that the Board of the Nashville Lawn and Garden Foundation has decided to discontinue the Nashville Lawn and Garden Show.

We want to thank you for 35 wonderful years of fun, friends, and education. Our non-profit corporation hopes to continue our mission to support Horticulture, Gardening, and Floral Design in our community and beyond.

Best wishes to you all!

🌺 Appreciation post: 🌺

Thank you to the volunteers who helped make the 2023 Nashville Lawn and Garden Show happen again this year. Thank you to the participating organizations and landscape companies who spent a week building, showcasing, and then deconstructing their garden displays. Thank you to the vendors who return year after year and those who joined us for the first time. Thank you to the plant societies and organizations who provided hours of information and instruction, the community groups who joined us, and to all our guest speakers who presented on timely topics.

Congratulations to our garden and floral design winners.

And finally, thank you to each of our visitors for visiting the show and through your visit, supporting horticulture and related programs in the region.

If you or your organization is interested in participating as a gardener, speaker, designer, or vendor in 2024, contact information is available on our website all year.
