Whether you’re a “green” inexperienced gardener or proudly possess a “green thumb”, the do-not- miss-it event in 2008 will be the Nashville Lawn & Garden Show, February 28 through March 2, at the Tennessee State Fairgrounds. It’s Easy to be Green, the 19th annual presentation of the largest gardening show in Tennessee, will be the greenest experience of the year; show proceeds will be used to help increase the urban forestry canopy in Middle Tennessee and to provide “green” education.
The show will include:
• Lectures by internationally known Irish gardener, Helen Dillon, from the Emerald Isle; and by nationally acclaimed plant preservationist and cultivator, Barry Glick from West Virginia;
• An acre of live gardens featuring environmentally friendly gardening ideas;
• A floral design gallery with a very green tint;
• Demonstrations on how to creatively and deliciously integrate raw foods into your diet presented by Laura Button, Journey to Bliss Raw Foods, Smyrna, Tennessee;
• Hundreds of exhibitors from throughout the United States offering an array of products, services, plants and equipment to help make your corner of the world greener.

The centerpiece of Nashville Lawn & Garden Show will be a naturalized presentation of more than 20 live gardens created by professional landscape designers. Most of the gardens include water features, ranging from small fountains to large waterfalls. The free series of more than 20 lectures will include presentations from expert horticulturists and garden designers from throughout the country. Some of the popular Tennessee speakers returning to the show are Jack Carman, wildflower expert, Tullahoma; Randy Smith, Mother Nature Nursery, Brentwood; and Carol Reese, ornamental horticulture expert, Jackson.
More than 21,000 people attended the 2007 show. Proceeds are used by the Horticultural Association of Tennessee to fund horticultural projects throughout Tennessee. For more complete information, call the Nashville Lawn & Garden Show office at 615-876-7680.
