horticulturalists and visionaries that will be converging in Nashville this February for a memorable
weekend!” said Antiques & Garden Show of Nashville Co-Chair Ashley Smith.

antiques from more than 150 dealers, world-class landscaped gardens, and opportunities to engage
with some of the nation’s top names in design and horticulture through educational lectures, panel
discussions and book signings.

Chairs Ashley Smith and Julia Spickard have selected the 2022 Show’s theme to be “Home is where
your story begins.” and are thrilled to announce an exceptional lineup of featured speakers and
moderators that bridge the entertaining, gardening and design worlds:

“We’re proud to present the amazing talent speaking at the 2022 Show on the common sentiment that
home is where your story begins,” said Spickard. “We’re also honored to have Gracie Studios providing
the design inspiration for this year’s theme, which has been translated into an exclusive design created
just for the Show.”

landscape designers that attendees can interactively experience. This year’s garden designers are
