Cheekwood in Bloom @ Cheekwood
Mar 18 @ 10:00 am – Apr 23 @ 5:00 pm

There’s no place more beautiful than Cheekwood in the spring as more than 100,000 tulips erupt from our gardens creating a color experience you won’t forget. Snowdrops, crocus, hyacinths, daffodils, magnolias, redbuds, and dogwoods are also in on the act, putting on an unforgettable show as warmer weather and longer days arrive in Nashville. With six weekends of family activities, entertainment and plenty of natural inspiration, we can’t think of a better way to celebrate the change of seasons. Entry is free with membership or Cheekwood general admission.
