Nashville Lawn and Garden Show

Introductory paragraph added later: If you have stumbled upon my blog while searching for the Nashville Lawn and Garden Show, let me start by saying that I LOVE the Nashville Lawn and Garden Show. I always come away with great ideas and pretty pictures. I like to share my horticultural stuff on my blog, but one of the main reasons that I maintain this blog is that I like to make myself laugh. Perhaps I have a weird sense of humor, but “wine-jail” is funny, and my pictures are so flattering that I felt free to poke a little fun at the show with my words. I said nothing but wonderful things about the show on my other blog, and I even posted a recap of my favorite pictures from 2011, 2012 and 2013 in advance of the show to help advertise. My intent here was to amuse, not offend. I can only imagine the hard work it must take to pull off such an event. In hindsight, I should have started with a more complimentary paragraph….like this one…..Did I tell you that I absolutely LOVE the Nashville Lawn and Garden Show?

Last weekend, for the fourth consecutive year, my friend Blue and I went to the Nashville Lawn and Garden Show. It was the show’s 25th anniversary, and the theme was wine and roses; which I find a little ironic considering that we couldn’t walk around drinking wine and looking at the gardens like we’ve done in years past. No, this year the only way to drink wine was to pay $12 for a tasting and go to wine-jail where you’re stuck behind a curtain in the corner of the building inside a big circle of wine vendors, and you go round and around drinking tiny glasses of wine until you finally stumble out. Hell, I didn’t travel to Nashville so I could walk around drinking wine; I do that all the time at home. I came to see the garden show AND drink wine.

I really hope this bit of complaining doesn’t get me kicked off the free ticket list.

Note to Deb: I’m sorry. It was still a great show, and we want free tickets again next year. Here, look at all the pretty pictures I took to help you promote the Nashville Lawn and Garden Show, and I split my pictures in half so I could also promote the show on my other blog for Alabama Gardener Magazine. Give me a couple of days to get them posted on ‘Peggy’s Picks – Tales from a Plant Ho.’

This garden tied for my favorite. My other favorite is on my AL Gardener Magazine blog.

I think fairy gardens are freakin’ adorable. Fairies are like the Power Rangers of the garden. They protect shit, and if you don’t like them, you suck.

Can you see the spiral staircase? I told you fairy gardens are freakin’ adorable.

Another pretty garden.

I kinda like the wine bottle towers in this next garden.

Blue bought some rusty birds from the nice lady at Rusty Birds. She’s going to make something.

Maybe something like this.

In addition to the gardens and the vendors, the Nashville Lawn and Garden Show always has a room of floral design, and that’s where I shot this next picture.

And although we could certainly afford the $10 tickets, it’s more fun when you give them to us for free. See how happy it makes us?

Blue and PeggyThanks for the tickets Deb!

I hope we’ll see you next year.
