The show also offers the opportunity to hear free
presentations by horticultural, landscape design, and gardening experts. The speakers will include Peter J. Hatch, Director of Gardens and Grounds at Monticello, the home of Thomas Jefferson. Hatch will speak on Friday, March 2, about Thomas Jefferson’s Revolutionary Garden, which featured more than 330 varieties of vegetables and continues to provide gardeners with a model in vegetable cuisine, sustainable horticulture, and a passion
for the earth – a perfect example of how gardens reflect the past, present and future. Then on Saturday, March 3, Hatch will discuss Thomas Jefferson, Gardener, an exploration of Jefferson’s use of native plants, the union of gardening and sociability, and his experimentation with useful plants as a means of social change.
Among the popular speakers returning to the 2012 show are Jeff Poppen,The Barefoot Farmer, from Long Hungry Creek Farm, in Red Boiling Springs, TN; Rita Randolph, Randolph’s Greenhouses, from Jackson, TN; and Justin Stelter, Historic Gardener for Carnton Plantation, Franklin, TN, and The Hermitage, Home of Andrew Jackson, Hermitage, TN. Complete information about free lecture presentation topics and times is available at www.nashvillelawnandgardenshow.com.
“The 2012 show will particularly emphasize the crucial role that plants, landscape design and management play in creating and maintaining a healthy, sustainable environment,” said Randall Lantz, co-manager of the show that is produced by the non-profit Horticultural Association of Tennessee. “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.”
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.
