After weeks of recovery and restoration following Winter Storm Fern, Cheekwood Estate & Gardens announced it will officially reopen to the public on Saturday, March 7, coinciding with the start of its popular annual spring festival, Cheekwood in Bloom.
This year’s theme, “Red, White & Blooms” honors America’s 250th birthday and celebrates the start of spring with a spectacular sea of 250,000 red and white tulips, purple-blue violas, hyacinths and an ever-growing collection of daffodils, creating a vibrant display throughout the gardens.
The annual seasonal festival makes for the perfect setting for families, friends, and nature enthusiasts. On select weekends, enjoy live jazz as student musicians from Vanderbilt University’s Blair School of Music perform in the gardens. You can also stroll through breathtaking scenery, visit food trucks or bring your own picnic.
“Spring is a time of renewal, especially meaningful this year for Nashville – and there’s no better place to enjoy the season and the hope it brings than at Cheekwood in Bloom,” said Jane MacLeod, president and CEO of Cheekwood Estate & Gardens.
In addition, Cheekwood’s toddler program, TOTS!, kicks off March 7 and runs Tuesdays – Saturdays through March 31.
Advance reservations are required for spring events at Cheekwood. For the latest on ticket prices and to purchase visit cheekwood.org.
