Gardens Past, Present & Future is the theme for the 2012 presentation of Tennessee’s largest and most popular annual gardening event that includes an acre of live gardens, a series of free lectures and workshops, a floral design gallery, and more than 250 exhibit booths featuring horticultural products and services, outdoor living décor, and plants and flowers.

A new feature at the 2012 show will include a Gardeners Boot Camp, a hands-on introduction to the art, science and fun of gardening on Thursday, March 1. This year’s show will emphasize the crucial role that plants play in creating and maintaining a healthy, sustainable environment. From rivers to rooftops to roadways — plants, planting practices and planning can have a huge impact on the quality of life in our backyards and throughout our communities.

The proceeds from the 2012 show will benefit The Cumberland River Compact, a non-profit educational and advocacy group focused on promoting a healthy natural and economic environment in the Cumberland River watershed.

The Nashville Lawn and Garden Show annually attracts more than 20,000 people from throughout the Midsouth region. All events are indoors and there is ample parking for only $5. The show is fully handicapped accessible.

Music fans worldwide know Nashville as the epicenter of country music, and Music City Roots, Live From the Loveless embraces and builds on that foundation. MCR is broadcast to a global audience, not just as the keeper of the traditional flame, but as a trusted tastemaker that looks to the future of music in all its forms and sub-genres: bluegrass, folk, alternative, western, rockabilly and crossovers into rock, jazz and world music. There has never been a time of greater variety, abundance and quality in Nashville’s creative community, and Music City Roots looks to put that talent on a worldwide stage.

Each broadcast will feature 4-5 artists in 20 minute segments and short interviews, and also encourages collaboration with a nightly Loveless Jam where all musical guests embrace the spirit of Music City as the collaborative epicenter of tradition and innovation. Nashville’s legendary Keith Bilbrey is the announcer; Jim Lauderdale and other leaders of the music community host the festivities.

The family oriented street festival held around the public square is going green for Halloween with a new emphasis on recycling and sustainability, lead by presenting sponsor Waste Management of Franklin. There will still be plenty of orange, but there will be a new emphasis on recycling, sustainability and saving the environment during the free event that happens on Franklin’s historic Main Street on the Saturday before Halloween.
