Patsy Boles, Spring Garden Tour chair and long-time master gardener, said, “The private and public gardens included on our 30th annual Spring Garden Tour reflect the inspiration, art, love, and hard work that have gone into creating these unique and personal landscapes. We join our gardeners in welcoming everyone to celebrate the spring season with a leisurely stroll among trees, shrubs, perennials, herbs, and native wildflowers. These gardens demonstrate how sculpture and artifacts, water features, and stonework can be combined with various plantings to create beautiful and relaxing landscapes. This year we are pleased to present five premiere private gardens: two in East Brainerd, two in Hixson, and one in downtown Chattanooga. In keeping with MGHC’s mission to promote education, we are pleased to have on the tour the Chattanooga School for Liberal Arts, which is a Master Gardener-sponsored program, and the award-winning, environmentally-friendly gardens at the Blue Cross Blue Shields of TN headquarters."
