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.

Travel back to 16th Century England. Our Village of Covington Glen comes alive with the bustle of a Renaissance Marketplace. Over 60 skilled Artisians from all over the country display their wares from silks to swords, gems to jewels. Flavors, aromas and tastes of specialty foods and drinks greet the festival-goer. Hear the sounds of Renaissance musicians and merrymakers as they echo through the trees. Color, movement, and peals of laughter welcome those who thrill to the challenges of Games of Skill and Man-Powered Rides.

Helpful Information: Tennessee Renaissance Festival is easily accessible from I-24, or I-65, or I-840. Our Festival is located off Highway 96, between Franklin and Murfreesboro.

The sound of hooves pounding on turf…the sight of colorful silks flying over jumps…the scent of spring blooms carried by the balmy breeze…the taste of epicurean delicacies under the warm Tennessee sun. The Iroquois Steeplechase satisfies all the senses. Come to Percy Warner Park for the 69th running of the Iroquois Steeplechase presented by Bank of America. The Iroquois is one of the oldest, most prestigious, and most challenging steeplechase races in the country.

Seven races offer total purses, awards and bonuses of $415,000 – the richest race day on the National Steeplechase Association (NSA) spring circuit. Attendance at the 2008 races exceeded 21,000. In addition to offering great entertainment, the Iroquois supports the vital work of the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt. The Iroquois has raised more than $9 million that has been used for medical equipment, pediatric critical care and research into childhood diseases.
