Tour Of Chattanooga Area Rose Gardens Open Mother's Day Weekend

  • Friday, April 28, 2017

Members of The Tri-State Rose Society of Chattanooga are opening wide the gates of their private gardens to the public on Mothers’ Day weekend: Saturday and Sunday, May 13 and 14.

Five rose gardens will be featured in Chattanooga, Hixson, East Brainerd and Soddy Daisy.

"A favorite garden from past tours is that of Jeff and Cindy Garrett, who have been heroes in the cause of promoting the rose both locally and on a national level.  Their home in Soddy Daisy is situated on the lake.  The centerpiece of the garden is a beautifully landscaped koi pond with hundreds of rose bushes to complete the picture," organizers said.

The self-guided tour is made easier due to the common use of GPS.  One can start at any garden and proceed from there.

Go to www.chattanoogarose.org for more information," officials said.

The Tour hours are 10 a.m.-6 pm on Saturday and noon-5 p.m. on Mother’s Day.  There is no charge for the self-guided tour, however donations will be gladly accepted and given to the Chattanooga Area Food Bank.
