The annual Summer Celebration Lawn and Garden Show will be held from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Thursday, July 11, at the West Tennessee AgResearch and Education Center at 605 Airways Blvd., in Jackson.
Hosted by the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, visitors will be able to enjoy garden talks, an extensive plant sale and access to the UT Plant and Pest Diagnostic Clinic.
Speakers at the Celebration will provide garden inspiration with an emphasis on solutions.
Admission is $5 for adults and free for children under 18.
Visitors can start their day at 9 a.m., shopping for hard-to-find ornamentals at the Master Gardener plant sale, or visit the Exhibitor Tent featuring more than 40 local businesses selling plants, lawn equipment, garden art and crafts.
Garden talks begin at 9 a.m. and repeat throughout the day – indoors and outdoors.
The UT Kitchen Divas will provide tips and tricks for meal prep that save time and money, with a cooking demonstration – ‘It’s a Pepper Party.’
Join the UT Kitchen Divas to sample treats that bring all the flavor without the temperature.
