The 17th Annual Garden Jubilee Festival is a spectacular two day festival that celebrates the growing season in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina. This area provides a healthy environment for growing a vast variety of flowers and plants. The festival is held annually during the Memorial Day weekend in Historic Downtown Hendersonville. Garden Jubilee is the ideal festival for garden lovers searching for the perfect plants and unique lawn & garden accessories and arts & crafts. Bring a wagon or cart to make transporting your plants easier.
Garden Jubilee offers over 125 vendors selling handmade arts and crafts, plants and items to enhance your outdoor living area. Nurseries selling many varieties of annuals, perennials, vegetables, trees, shrubs, and hard to find plants will be located on every block of the festival. A great way to enhance the beauty of a garden is to add garden ornamentation. There will also be delicious food to satisfy any appetite. Vendors will be located on the wide sidewalks of Historic Downtown Hendersonville from Sixth Avenue to Second Avenue. Main Street will be closed to traffic from Second Avenue to Caswell Street, with vendors lining both sides of the street.
Located at the Visitors Information Center, 201 South Main Street the Lowe's Expo will offer garden clinics, plants, a hands-on kids clinic and beautiful displays. Nationally known lawn and garden product specialists will be giving one-on-one advice. If you have a question or need advice about your garden or lawn, you've come to the right place. The Lowe's Kids Clinic located at the Visitors Information Center will offer free fun hands-on projects for children ages 4-12.
Please leave your pets comfortably at home as a Hendersonville City ordinance prohibits animals in the event area.
