Mother Earth's Garden

The 2009 Nashville Lawn and Garden Show looks like it will be the place to be for garden lovers. Unfortunately I probably won’t make it this year since it’s March 5th to the 8th, and I already have plans for that weekend.

Here are some of the scenes from last years Lawn and Garden Show:

The Nashville Lawn and Garden Show is held every year at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds, in Nashville Tennessee. As you can see there are beautiful garden scenes, and tons of ideas for this season’s garden. The NLGS sent me a list of 20 Things to Love About the Nashville Lawn and Garden Show:

1. Live gardens!  Spectacular displays with thousands of flowers, water features and creative ideas.
