Bloom Into the Weekend: Your Guide to Garden Jubilee

Garden Jubilee stretches along Main Street in historic Downtown Hendersonville, featuring nearly 200 vendors offering everything from vegetable starts and flowering perennials to unique outdoor art, tools, and yard décor.

To beat the crowds and scoop up the best finds, plan to arrive early—vendors are typically ready to go by 9:00 AM each day. Better yet, make a weekend of it. With live music, local food, and downtown shops and restaurants in full swing, Garden Jubilee offers more than just plants—it’s a celebration of the season and the region.

Make the most of your visit by staying close to the action. These charming and convenient accommodations are all just minutes from Main Street, letting you stroll to and from the festival with ease.

Downtown Vacation Rentals
Prefer your own space? Several short-term rentals and apartments are available downtown—ideal for groups or those looking to cook their own meals and relax between festival strolls.

Expert Garden Talks: Learn from local and regional horticulture experts. The Lowe’s-sponsored stage often features DIY demos, soil tips, and plant care advice throughout the day.

Shop ‘Til You Sprout: This isn’t your average farmers market—expect an array of high-quality plants (many grown locally), heirloom varieties, rare shrubs, and the tools to help them thrive.

Festival Atmosphere: Enjoy the sights and sounds of spring with live entertainment, local food trucks, and Main Street restaurants offering grab-and-go options or shaded patio seating.

Kid-Friendly Fun: While the main event is geared toward gardeners, there’s plenty to keep the whole family engaged—including nearby parks, treats, and sidewalk surprises along the route.

Bring a Wagon or Cart: With so many tempting plants and goods, a rolling cart can save your back—and your arms.

Dress for the Weather: The event goes on rain or shine, so wear breathable layers, sun protection, and comfortable walking shoes.

Park Smart: Downtown public lots tend to fill up fast during Garden Jubilee, but there are other great options. The Dogwood Parking Deck, located at 123 5th Avenue W, offers convenient access just steps from Main Street. To make parking even easier, consider carpooling with friends or family and arriving early to snag a spot.

Heads Up for Pet Parents: Downtown Hendersonville is pet-friendly, with many shops and restaurants welcoming four-legged visitors. However, due to hot pavement and large crowds, it is not recommended to bring pets to Garden Jubilee. For their safety and comfort, it’s best to leave furry friends at home during the festival hours.

Garden Jubilee is more than just a plant sale—it’s a full weekend experience that captures the best of Hendersonville in bloom. Come early, stay nearby, and soak in the beauty, charm, and vibrant community that makes this event a must-attend for green thumbs and flower fans alike.
