The 35th Annual Antiques & Garden Show of Nashville will take place in the new year, beginning January 31st and ending February 2nd. Benefitting Cheekwood Estate & Gardens and Economic Club of Nashville (ECON) Charities, the highly anticipated event will be returning to the Music City Center. Presented by Northern Trust, attendees can indulge themselves in the finest antiques, art and horticulture dealers, immersive garden showcases, live music and special events Music City has to offer.
Each year, the event showcases some of the highest-quality antiques, landscaped gardens and horticultural items from exhibitors across the country, in addition to offering a related educational outreach program. Since its beginning in 1990, the Show has raised over eleven million dollars.
Paige Hill and Dawn Looney, the 2025 General Chairs, will take the reins for the event and help drive home the “Cultivating Home: Life Well Tended” theme. This year’s theme will be drawing inspiration from signature fabric patterns by partners Fabricut, Jean Monro and Clarence House. In addition, Bunny Williams - who is a renowned designer, author, entrepreneur and philanthropist - will be celebrated again as the Honorary Co-Chair alongside her business partner Elizabeth Lawrence.
With both educational and entertaining discussions on the books, the event will be a space for those with a renowned passion for design, horticulture and living an inspired life.
The festivities will begin with a keynote lecture with famed actress, model, author, entrepreneur and design enthusiast Brooke Shields alongside her collaborator and friend, British designer David Flint Wood. Following will be a conversation featuring nine-time Grammy award winner/singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow and author and philanthropist Lauren Akins, alongside their shared interior designer April Tomlin. Margot Shaw, Editor-in-Chief of Flower Magazine will also moderate a Floral Lecture with two of Great Britain’s leading florists: Shane Connolly, ambassador for sustainable floristry who is perhaps best known for his public work for the British Royal Family, and Willow Crossley, author, designer, stylist, entrepreneur and influencer who is often dubbed ‘UK’s Queen of Flowers.’ This is only a fraction of all the event will include!
The Show will also feature three extravagant garden showcases presented by accomplished landscape designers in which attendees are invited to walk through and experience interactively. In addition, as the Presenting Hotel for Antiques & Garden Show of Nashville, The Hermitage Hotel will be hosting a special botanical-themed Afternoon Tea, offering an exquisite selection of floral-inspired treats and teas.
