Sunday, February 1, 2:00 – 4:30pm, 2026 Meet & Greet Kickoff Meeting
Join us for our first Nashville Rose Society meeting of the year—a relaxed meet and greet designed especially to welcome new members and reconnect with returning friends. We’ll spend time getting to know one another, share what’s ahead for the season, and provide updates on the relocation of the NRS Rose Study Garden to a new on-site location due to parking garage construction.
We’ll also enjoy a show-and-tell of recent photos from local rose gardens, highlighting what’s growing around Middle Tennessee. Whether you’re new to roses or a long-time grower, this is a perfect opportunity to connect, learn, and kick off the year together.
Location Note: This meeting will be held in the Bradford Room at the Cheekwood Estate & Gardens Frist Center, a new meeting location on the Cheekwood campus (not the Massey Center used in previous years). Please plan to enter Cheekwood via the main weekend entrance and follow signage to the Frist Center. The meetings are free to guests, as is admission to Cheekwood for meetings. Simply tell the gate attendant that you are there for the Nashville Rose Society meeting.
