Patsy Boles, Spring Garden Tour chair and long-time master gardener, says, “We join our gardeners in welcoming everyone to celebrate spring with a leisurely stroll among trees, shrubs, perennials, herbs and native wildflowers. These gardens demonstrate how sculpture, water features and stonework can be combined with various plantings to create beautiful and relaxing landscapes.”
This year, the Spring Garden Tour includes five private gardens: two in East Brainerd, two in Hixson and one in downtown Chattanooga. Chattanooga School for Liberal Arts, which has a Master Gardener-sponsored program, is also on the tour, as are the award-winning gardens at the BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee headquarters.
