Nashville Lawn and Garden Show – Part 1

Last Saturday night, my girlfriend Blue and I were having a blast in Nashville. We spent the morning at the Nashville Lawn and Garden Show. This was our first year to go to the show, and it was excellent. There were 26 very impressive display gardens, a room full of artful flower arrangements, 4 days of free lectures, and lots of booths with vendors and plant society people. We meant to go last year, but ended up at the Antique and Garden Show by mistake. (Too many antiques and not enough gardens for my taste.)

Just as you entered, this large pot of Clivia screamed WELCOME!!

 This was my favorite pot at the show. It is very drought tolerant and low maintenance. The plant in the middle, which looks a little like a pencil cactus, is a type of Euphorbia. One of the vendors had them for sale, and I’m kicking myself for not bringing him home.

 It was crowded, so I couldn’t get long range shots, but you can see how large the displays were. Check out the website for some impressive photos. Whoever took them used a camera much nicer than the one that fits in my purse.

The picture below was one of my favorite gardens. It had a ton of variety, but it didn’t look chaotic. Although many plants were single specimens, they also used big sweeps of tulips, crocus, daffodils, and other perennials to tie everything together. This was a very large planting of Lenten rose (Helleborus “Spring Promise”). Isn’t it spectacular? The flowers are more upright than any other Helleborus I have ever seen.

 I took several pictures of flower arrange-ments. The designers were obviously very creative people. Someday I would love to learn more about this art.

 

The best part of the weekend for me was visiting with Blue and chatting with the people we met. Plant people are so friendly!
