Summer Celebration Lawn & Garden Show
July 12, 2012
Admission: $5.00
2012 ProgramBlue skies, golden sunshine, friendly people, and oh yeah, one of the most exquisite gardens in West Tennessee...sounds like a setting for a good time.
At the annual University of Tennessee Summer Celebration Lawn and Garden Show, the mood is always festive. With thousands of trees, shrubs and flowers on display, plus exciting presentations, unique vendors and good food, it's easy to see why people love to come to this event, and why it was voted a "Top 20 Event" by the Southeast Tourism Society.
Summer Celebration 2012 kicks off at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 12 at the West Tennessee AgResearch & Education Center. As in years past, visitors will be able to tour the beautiful UT Gardens-Jackson. You will also be able to attend workshops presented by UT experts. Plus hear from renowned gardening enthusiasts from across the region.
In addition to informative workshops, visitors can also peruse and purchase fascinating plant varieties at the Master Gardeners Plant Sale. These plants have been researched and tested in West Tennessee conditions, and have proven themselves as great additions to local landscapes.
If you have specific plant questions, you can get them answered at the Plant Diagnostic Center, which will be staffed by plant pest and disease experts. If you need a break, enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by local 4-H students, or take a relaxing wagon ride around the AgResearch & Education Center and learn more about the breakthroughs in agricultural research that are happening right here.
The cost for this complete day is $5.00 for adults, free for children 17 and under, but as one visitor said, "You'll get more than $5.00 worth of education and fun!"
