Earlier in the month Himself and I made our annual visit to the Nashville Lawn and Garden show. It was SO needed... only a few days earlier (opening day for them!) it had snowed 7 inches and we were once again trapped on our hill.
This year wasn't as interesting as other years, there were quite a few less garden displays and those there weren't as intricate. One large section of the building was devoted to a 'wine party' with TN vineyards touting their wines. Why?
But there were still cool things to look at...
We both love this millstone fountain.
And what a fun idea of scattering in colored glass into a rock garden to make it a "pond". I'll be using this idea.
A variation of a pergola. And isn't that chair beautiful?
There were several small planting areas that I'm going to do my spin on in the yard.
Purple! I want purple in my garden too.
My favorite shabby chic designer was back. This year they featured the concrete 'fabric' drape planters. It's an idea that seems easy enough. I might give it a try.
So fun!
Several of the floral designers made fairy gardens.
Such cute little dish gardens!
Another favorite: the formal floral arrangements.
They are always so lovely.
Then we moved on to the commercial area. A lot of the same stuff as in years past.
However, these painted stones made us smile...
Too cute!
Wouldn't this be fun covered in moss?
Himself waiting patiently while I shop.
Ah Spring... I'm so glad you are back!
I haven't been to a home and garden show in ages. So much inspiration everywhere. Love that millstone fountain.
