NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Cheekwood Harvest is back with an explosion of more than 75,000 pumpkins in the annual Pumpkin Village, with three pumpkin houses, sweeps of more than 4,000 chrysanthemums and a nine-foot-tall P’mumkin topiary made of orange mums arranged in the shape of a giant pumpkin.
Bring family and friends out to stroll through the Bradford Robertson Color Garden, capture the perfect harvest photo, walk along the scarecrow trail, and tap your toes to music in the beer garden each weekend.
Round out the day by picking out a pumpkin to take home and carve with the family!
Cheekwood Harvest runs through October 27. Tickets can be purchased here.
I LOVE Forrest's stories on the history of NewsChannel 5 as we celebrate our 70th anniversary. Here's a story I wasn't familiar with until recently. Eudora Boxley had a live cooking show in the early days of the station. She may have been the first black on air at NewsChannel 5 and perhaps, one of the first African Americans to have a TV cooking show anywhere in the country. It wasn't until her grandson reached out to me that I even heard of Ms. Boxley. Thankfully, I was able to connect him with Forest to learn more about this great nugget in NewsChannel 5 history.
