How do Master Gardeners meet the challenges in their own gardens? Memphis Area Master Gardeners invite the public to “Through Our Garden Gates” to their personal gardens where they have solved drainage problems, fought weeds, built water features, selected plants for sun and shade, maximized small spaces, and made large spaces more intimate.

Garden hosts are on-site at each garden throughout the day to answer visitor’s questions and to provide plant lists. In addition, each garden will feature presentations by experts on weed control, shade plants, tree care, and other topics. There is an “Ask A Master Gardener” plant clinic available at one of the locations.

Gardens and landscapes have long been the inspiration for creating art. Honoring this tradition the tour will feature Plein Air Memphis artists working on site to capture the beauty and spirit of each garden.
