Cheekwood Botanical Garden

Last Monday we were in Nashville to see the band Leftover Salmon perform at the Ryman. I’m going to buy the recording from the show because I’m fairly certain that I’ll be able to hear myself screaming and cheering at the end of every song. Dale took two days off work, and it was a wonderful little get-away. We visited Cheekwood Botanical Garden on Tuesday. It was awesome, and I have so many great pictures to show you, that I’m going to split this into two posts. Here’s a link to the other post on my blog for Alabama Gardener.

This was the display just outside the visitor center.

That’s a lot of mums and pumpkins! I especially like the pumpkins piled at the base of the crepe myrtles. The tall, narrow grass in these pictures is the 2014 perennial plant of the year, Panicum virgatum ‘Northwind’. Both the mums and the grasses are still in their pots, but you don’t notice it because the pots are hidden under piles of pine straw.

If you go back to the first picture, and look at the far left, you’ll notice a patch of pink. It’s Sunpatients ‘Compact Blush Pink’. It doesn’t look very compact to me, but it’s beautiful. I wish Dale was wearing a different shirt because that color combination is not good.

Inside the visitor center is this adorable fountain.

The nice man behind the desk was pleased to learn that it was National Indoor Plant Week. – My mind is full of useful/useless horticultural information. – I asked him what was the “not to be missed” garden, and he sent us to the Japanese garden.

Just ignore those white poles holding the electric fence up. – Damn deer! – Don’t you think the posts would look better painted black?

The path switch-backed, and this collection of crepe myrtles is on the other side of the border you just saw.

Next are my two favorite pictures of the Japanese garden.

The garden was amazing. See for yourself.

In conclusion, I loved Cheekwood Botanical Garden, and I need to go back again to see the rest of it. And if you’re interested, there’s also a museum of art on the property, but I’ll never see it because I’ll be in the garden.
