On September 29th, Nashville will become the home of the very first public garden to honor iconic entertainers.  The Nashville Music Garden will be located in the Hall of Fame Park.  The “Garden of the Stars” will pay tribute to artists, songwriters, authors, television personalities, industry leaders, venues, organizations, and icons who have positively impacted Nashville’s entertainment community. 

The Nashville Music Garden will be home to over six dozen flowering plants baring the names such as Barbara Mandrell, Grand Ole Opry, Minnie Pearl, Pretty Woman, Purple Haze, Elivis, Ring of Fire, Tennessee Waltz, Alabama, Dolly Parton, Kiss an Angel Good Morning, Hank Williams, Reba McEntire, Amy Grant, and many more.

“I am thrilled to be a part of the Nashville Music Garden. There are plenty of eye-sores in the world. Thank goodness for people who fight back with flowers. God bless ‘em!” says Pam Tillis, another celebrated artist of the garden.

The dedication ceremony will be on Tuesday, September 29th at 10:30am. The star-studded event is expected to include Barbara Mandrell, Ralph Emery, Steve Holy, Little Jimmy Dickens, Jeffrey Steele, and the families of Patsy Cline, Hank Williams, and Minnie Pearl.

The free public event will give the first 500 guests long-stemmed Rio Roses and biscuits from the famed Loveless Cafe. Visit www.nashvillemusicgarden.com
