I have been living in the area for a little over 3 years and have finally visited Cheekwood this past Tuesday. I love Cheekwood!!! I loved the art exhibit and the Faberge exhibit. Loved the scarecrows and the gardens. Even enjoyed the Lemon Artichoke Chicken soup. I will be back, hopefully, many times.

I just joined Cheekwood this summer for the first time and have greatly enjoyed bringing my grandchildren to Tales and Tunes. Last night was especially fantastic with the two guys doing the Tunes portion. We did not want the evening to end! They played tune after tune after tune... people were singing and clapping the entire time, and the stone floor was covered with dancing children. I thanked both musicians after their performance. Thank you so much for providing this amazing opportunity for our community.

I would like to say thank you very much for a wonderful visit to Cheekwood this past weekend (sat). My mother, sister and I (none of us kids but definitely kids at heart) had a fun time viewing the creative fairy tale exhibits. It was as diverse and imaginative as last year's Once Upon a Garden. We enjoyed the gardens as well. Such an oasis during this dry time! Each section had new things to look for and the plant diversity was inspiring. It shows lots of work on the horticulture team's part. We enjoyed our lunch at the Pineapple room - wonderful food and satisfying portions. It was relaxing after the hot walk on the trails. We then took in the gift shop (I think they had to restock after we left!) Thanks for being the quiet haven of fun in West Nashville. We love coming several times a year and look forward to the Scarecrows in the fall. I hope you have a wonderful turnout for the Fairy Tales and look forward to next year and the 3rd chapter in the series :)

Just wanted to take this opportunity to express how fabulous Tuesdays for Tots and Hillary are! It is the best secret in town....but I tell everyone. My child goes to school on Tuesdays now and we miss it badly. The child exhibits like scarecrows, fairy tales, etc. are wonderful too. And the evenings with Jazz, etc. were great. Great secrets as well.

"Spring is here! There are beautiful flowers everywhere. This is the perfect place for a long walk or to just read a book. The faberge exhibit is so cool. My friend got married at Cheekwood last year and it was so pretty, I'm glad I came back to enjoy it."

"There are gardens for every type of nature lover, from the manicured rosebeds and wisteria trellises to a wildflower garden overgrown with native plants. The Japanese Garden isnot to be missed, and in the center of all of this is an impressive mansion, now an art gallery. Cheekwood is a beautiful oasis in a growing city of suburbs and strip malls. I highly recommend it!"

Beautiful Collection in a beautiful setting – worth the airplane from Kentucky
The Gardens are exceptional – even in the rain!

Cheekwood’s art exhibition was intriguing, thought-provoking and challenging. One of the best shows I’ve seen in a long time.
