Garden Jubilee Nurseries & Orchards Tour in Hendersonville!

Garden Jubilee Nurseries & Orchards Tour

May 28 – 30, 2021
9 am – 5 pm Daily

Indulge your green thumb with a Memorial Day weekend visit to Hendersonville for the Garden Jubilee Nurseries & Orchards Tour.

Hendersonville’s 28th annual garden & plant extravaganza has a new format this year, combining the success of last year’s countryside tour to nurseries and orchards with a return to Main Street, scaled back for social distancing purposes.

This new town-and-country format takes place Friday to Sunday, May 28-30, with the downtown portion available Saturday and Sunday only. Main Street is now considered one of 16 stops on the tour.  The self-guided tour allows you to have the flexibility of mapping out your own route by starting at the business of your choice.

Henderson County offers a wealth of agritourism-related business, which includes nurseries, farms and orchards. The self-guided Garden Jubilee Nurseries & Orchards Tour enables the public to experience the fun and great shopping experience of Garden Jubilee while remaining spread out. Additionally, visitors will have access to products that they may not have access to on Main Street, due to space constraints. By going directly to the various locations, shoppers have the opportunity to peruse their entire inventory, for a much broader selection of merchandise. Nurseries and orchards will also host on-site vendors selling garden accessories, crafts, additional plants and other items.

Meanwhile, Main Street returns to the mix Saturday and Sunday with smaller booths than in previous years, plus a tripling of space between each vendor. Attendees can shop for small plants, lawn and garden items, and crafts, while taking advantage of more than two dozen restaurants downtown, many offering outdoor dining.

Tour hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. all three days. Downtown hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday only.

The modifications to the 2021 Garden Jubilee will follow federal and state-mandated guidelines for cleaning, social distancing, limiting crowd size and wearing a mask.

Please leave your pets comfortably at home, animals are not allowed in the Garden Jubilee Nurseries & Orchards event areas.
