Cheekwood's annual Orchids in the Mansion exhibit will return to the botanical gardens for a third year on Saturday, January 30, and run through Sunday, February 28.
Orchids in the Mansion invites guests to enjoy nature indoors with warm and whimsical floral arrangements throughout Nashville's cold winter months. This season's exhibit promises unique displays, including a large "mirrored moat" with intricately designed floral landscaping, as well as three large "orchid chandeliers" adorning the historic Loggia.

“My team and I were inspired to utilize the vertical space in the Loggia for this year’s displays and present orchids on hanging metal armatures that will create an intimate yet massive burst of flowers,” said Peter Grimaldi, Cheekwood VP of Gardens & Facilities.
Additionally, Grimaldi will host a Virtual Lecture series beginning Saturday, February 6, to discuss this year's displays and at-home orchid care. Orchids in the Mansion will be open Tuesday through Sunday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission to the exhibit is included with the purchase of a "Gardens & Mansion Access" ticket, which must be purchased in advance online at cheekwood.org. Admission for members is free and must also be reserved in advance online.
