Cool Springs area, Franklin, TN

Members Only Registration Required Free Event Home/Private Garden Tour Free Public Parking

Welcome to the native landscape and gardens of Rita and Phil Venable! Our garden is in suburban north Franklin near the Cool Springs mall. 

We love our native garden and the wildlife it attracts but we must work within the guidelines of our HOA and want to do it in a friendly way that is also in step with the neighborhood. How? Come and see.

The following should be in bloom: sweet, gray and zigzag goldenrods, hoary vervain, New York, late purple and aromatic asters, hairy golden aster, whorled sunflower, beautyberry, ironweed, autumn sage and southern wild senna. Some non-natives will also be in bloom.

Registration link coming soon.
