Any gardeners out there that got started late this year, like me? Bates Nursery is a mecca for anyone wanting to grow their own veggies, decorate their pad with some more indoor plants, or get some serious landscaping and design work done. Hoping my chaos gardening will keep all the critters from feasting before I get the chance to, if anyone has any tips!

So yeah, it’s Win Stuff Wednesday, and there’s plenty in the mix today. One that feels very on-brand for this time of year is Strawberry Fest on May 9th. Each year, the Nashville Farmers’ Market downtown brings spring weather, local vendors, live music, and enough strawberries to properly jam the Spaceballs’ ship. Feels like an easy yes, so go ahead and get yourself in the running to win a gift basket.*
